Question

The orbital diagram above is from the element ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Phosphorus

Explanation:

In given diagram there are 15 electrons are present. Which means it is orbital diagram of phosphorus.

The atomic number of phosphorus = 15

Number of electrons = 15

Electronic configuration of phosphorus:

P₁₅ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³

All other options are incorrect because:

Calcium have 20 electrons.

Electronic configuration of Ca:

Ca₂₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

Hydrogen have one electron.

Electronic configuration of H.

H₁  = 1s¹

Magnesium have 12 electrons:

Electronic configuration of Mg:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
