Question

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

Express your answer in complete form in the order of orbital filling as a string without blank space between orbitals.

Answer 1

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.

Element Atomic number Electron configuration

sulfur 16 1s22s22p63s23p4

chlorine 17 1s22s22p63s23p5

argon 18 1s22s22p63s23p6

Two electrons

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