Answer:

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The noble gas notation is used for the shortest electronic configuration of other periodic table elements.

For example:

The atomic number of Argon is 18, and its electronic configuration is,

Ar₁₈ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

The atomic number of selenium is 34, its electronic configuration is,

Se₃₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

By using the noble gas notation, electronic configuration of selenium can be written is shortest form.

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

This electronic configuration is also called abbreviated electronic configuration.
