Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
It's sp3d according to the lewis dot structure (four bonds, one lone pair).

Answer: The number 4 indicates 4 electrons.
Explanation: We are given an electronic configuration, which is:
Here,
- The letters denote the sub-shells of an element.
- The numbers written before the letters which are 1, 2 and 2 represents the Principle Quantum Number and these represents the energy level of the sub-shells.
- The number which are written in the superscripts which are 2, 2 and 4 denotes the electrons which are present in the sub-shell.
Hence, 4 indicates 4 electrons present in 2p sub-shell.
