What is the electron configuration for vanadium (V)?The Periodic TableO A. 1s22s22p3s23p64s23dO B. 1s22s22p53s²3pº3dO C. 1522s22p635²3p645²48O D. 1s22s22p 3s23p64s24p³

Electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom in atomic orbitals, we can find the electronic configuration of any atom if we have the information of the number of total electrons that the atom has, for Vanadium, we have 23 electrons, let's set a electronic configuration for it:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d3

Since the answers are a little confusing, I can't say for sure which option it is, but it must be the option that fits the configuration above.
