Answer:

Argon {Ar}

Step-by-step explanation:

The noble gas used for a condensed electron configuration is the one before the element which you are configuring.

In this case, the element (Mn) is manganese

The noble gas that is before this element is Argon which is the row above it

so your configuration would be {Ar} 3d^5 4s^2
