Interpretation:
The ground state configuration of arsenic atom has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Electronic configuration: The electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.
Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals. The increasing order of orbital energy is s, p, d and f. The lowest energy orbital is ls.
The energy order of the orbital for the first three periods is as follows,
ls, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p.
The orbital which is closer to the nucleus has lower energy; therefore the 2s is lower in energy than 3s. Accordingly 2s is lower in energy than 2p and 4s is lower in energy than 3d.
In general, the orbitals can hold maximum of two electrons, the two electrons must have opposite spin.
The subshell ordering by Aufbau principle is given below,
ls, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p, 8s, ...
