M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula

Zolol [24]

1. option B

2. ground state Fe :  [Ar] 4s² 3d⁶

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Aufbau rule

<em>Electrons occupy orbitals of the lowest energy level</em>

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  

So the correct choice of answer is B.

Ground state is the state of electrons filling skins with the lowest energy levels.

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupy a higher energy level

The atomic number of Fe = 26, so electrons=26

Ground state configuration of Fe : [Ar] 4s² 3d⁶ or

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶
