Answer 1

The answer to your question is: d

Step-by-step explanation:

Electron configuration of Carbon.

Atomic number of carbon = 6

a) 1s²2s²2p¹ Number of electrons = 5, This is the electron configuration of Boron.

b) 1s²2s²2p⁴ Number of electrons = 8. This is the electron configuration of oxygen.

c) 1s²2s²p² Number of electrons = 6. This is the electron configuration of carbon. But I think is lacking a number two before p.

d) 1s²2s²2p² Number of electrons 6, This is the correct electron configuration of carbon.
