Question

Which element does the electron configuration 1s22s22p2 represent ?

Answer 1

1s2 2s2 2p2 represents carbon, element #6. The electron configuration contains 2 in each shell listed.

Answer 2

The element is Carbon. Atomic number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The electron configuration distributes electrons into levels or sub-levels, Each of these levels has a determined capacity of electrons that can contain and you always follow an specific order given to you by the Linus Diagram.

Sub Level s--> 2 electrones

Sub level p --> 6 electrons

Sub level d --> 10 electrons

Sub level f --> 14 electrons

Sub level g --> 18 electrons.

Considering this you must follow the arrows of the Linus Diagram and distribute all the electrons acording to the atomic number of the element.
