Answer:
D)
Explanation:
Carbon.
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
But in methane, it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.
Thus, the configuration is:-
Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-
