Question

Enter the correct ground-state (or lowest energy) configuration based on the number of electrons: 1s^4 2s^4 2p^12.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ground state configuration is the lowest energy, most stable arrangement. An excited state configuration is a higher energy arrangement (it requires energy input to create an excited state). Valence electrons are the electrons utilised for bonding.

Two electrons

Two electrons fill the 1s orbital, and the third electron then fills the 2s orbital. Its electron configuration is 1s22s1.
