Question

Use the Periodic Table.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: d

Explanation:

Electron configuration of Carbon.

Atomic number of carbon = 6

a) 1s²2s²2p¹  Number of electrons = 5, This is the electron configuration of Boron.

b) 1s²2s²2p⁴  Number of electrons = 8. This is the electron configuration of oxygen.

c) 1s²2s²p²  Number of electrons = 6. This is the electron configuration of carbon. But I think is lacking a number two before p.

d) 1s²2s²2p² Number of electrons 6, This is the correct electron configuration of carbon.
