The answer is <span>D.when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells. This is because there are some instances when elements don't possess a regular or normal electron configuration. There are those who have special electron configurations wherein a lower subshell isn't completely filled before occupying a higher subshell. It is best to visualize such cases using the orbital notation.</span>

What neutral element has the electron configuration described by the Aufbau diagram above.​
devlian [24]

Answer:

Aluminium.

Explanation:

The above electronic configuration can be written in a simplified form as shown below:

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p¹

Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element as follow:

Number electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1

Number of electron = 13

Next, we shall determine the number of protons.

Since the element is in its neutral state,

The number of electrons and protons are equal i.e

Proton = Electron

Number of electron = 13

Proton = Electron = 13

Proton = 13

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element i.e

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 13

Atomic number = 13

Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element with the above electronic configuration is aluminium since no two elements have the same atomic number.
