Question

What is the identity of the element with the electron configuration of

Answer 1

Zinc

Explanation:

  Electron configuration:

          1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s²

To decipher this atom, we must understand what each of the letters and number represents;

                 1s²

  1 is the principal quantum number

  s is the azimuthal number or the subshell

  2 superscript is the number of electrons

Using the number of electrons, we can deduced the atom:

                              2+2+6+2+6+10+2 = 30 electrons

The element with 30 electrons on the periodic table is Zinc
