If you are referring to a neutral atom, then Vanadium (V) has that particular electron configuration.

Remember that for neutral atoms, the number of electrons must equal the atomic number. Adding up all the electrons from the given configuration will give

This means that the atom you're looking for has an atomic mass of 23, which corresponds to the atomic mass of Vanadium, a transition metal located in the fourth row, group 5 of the periodic table.

Vanadium's noble gas shorthand notation is

V:[Ar]4s23d3

hope this helps :))
