(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given electron configuration is 1s21p2.

The above electron configuration is wrong because the 1p orbital doesn’t exist and also electrons are filled based on Aufbau principle so, the configuration should be 1s22s2 not 1s21p2.  Hence, the electron configuration is 1s21p2 not possible.

The correct element and it electron configuration is [Be]:1s22s2.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given electron configuration 1s22s22p2 is possible or not possible, identify the correct element and its correct electron configuration have to be mentioned.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(b)

Explanation of Solution

Given electron configuration is 1s22s22p2

The above electron configuration is right because the 1s22s22p2 orbital does exist and also electrons are filled based on Aufbau principle so, the configuration should be 1s22s22p2.

The electron configuration is 1s22s22p2 possible.

The correct element and it electron configuration is [C]:1s22s22p2.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given electron configuration 2s22s22p62d1 is possible or not possible, identify the correct element and its correct electron configuration have to be mentioned.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given electron configuration is 2s22s22p62d1

The above electron configuration is wrong because two times 2s22s22p62d1 orbital doesn’t exist and also electrons are filled based on Aufbau principle so, the configuration should be 1s22s22p63d1 not 2s22s22p62d1.  Hence, the electron configuration is 2s22s22p62d1 not possible.

Hence, the correct element and it electron configuration is [Na]:1s22s22p63s1.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given electron configuration 1s22s3 is possible or not possible, identify the correct element and its correct electron configuration have to be mentioned.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given electron configuration is 1s22s3.

The above electron configuration is wrong as the 2s3 orbital doesn’t exist because, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodate in the s-orbital is two and also electrons are filled based on Aufbau principle so, the electron configuration should be 1s22s22p1 not 1s22s3.  The electron configuration is 1s22s3 not possible.

Hence, the correct element and it electron configuration is [B]:1s22s22p1.
