From the following partial (valence level) or orbital diagrams :

1. 4S(2) 3D(10) 4P(1)

2. 2S(2)  2P(4)

a) write down full ground state electron configuration for each

Expert Solution
Step 1 :

Aufbau's principle :- 

According to this rule electrons are filled into subshells in increasing order of their energies.

Least energy subshell is filles first.

The order of energies of various subshells is

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p 

s- subshell has one orbital , it can accommodate 2 electrons

p - subshell has three orbitals , it can accommodate 6 electrons

d - subshell has five orbitals , it can accommodate 10 electrons
