Which electron configuration represents the element carbon (atomic number 6)?
Answer : The electron configuration of the element carbon is, \(1s^22s^22p^2\)
Explanation :
The given element is, carbon.
The atomic number of carbon is, 6
As we know that the atomic number is equal to the number of proton and number of electrons.
Thus the number of electrons on carbon = 6
The electron configuration of the element carbon will be, \(1s^22s^22p^2\)
