Interpretation: From the given options the correct option that contains the exact electronic configuration for the element
Concept Introduction:
Periodic Table: The available chemical elements are arranged considering their
In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group.
In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group.
There are seven periods and 18 groups present in the table and some of those groups are given special name as follows,
Atomic Number: Atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons present in the nucleus of the element which is denoted by symbol Z. The superscript presents on the left side of the
Electronic configuration: It is used to represent the distribution of electrons placed over orbitals that present in the atom.
The rules followed by the electrons are as follows,
The electrons gets distributed strictly following the order starting from lower energy orbital to higher energy orbital(Aufbau principle), pairing of electrons in subshell starts only when all the orbitals in the subshell are singly filled (Hund’s Rule) and finally, no two electrons that have same set of quantum numbers (Pauli’s Exclusion Principle).
