I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Fan blades would be an analogy for electron cloud model. Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) developed an “Electron Cloud Model<span>” in 1926. It consisted of a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Hope this helps.</span>
Answer:
The answer to your question is Argon
Explanation:
Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.
Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.
2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18
The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.
Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration
3s² 3p⁶
Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.
Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8
Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.
The element with these characteristics is Argon.
I believe it’s B I apologize if it’s wrong
