Question

Identify the element with the electronic configuration 1s21p4?

Answer 1

The element with the electronic configuration 1s²1p⁴ is sulfur (S), which has 16 electrons.

The electronic configuration of sulfur can be written as:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

In this configuration, the first two electrons occupy the 1s orbital, the next two electrons occupy the 2s orbital, and the next six electrons occupy the 2p orbital. The remaining four electrons are distributed between the 3s and 3p orbitals, with the last four electrons occupying the 3p orbital.
