Select all of the possible electron configurations. The atom may be in an exited state or a ground state. 1s 1 2s 2 2p 7 1s 2 2s 2 2p 5 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 3 3d 7 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3d 8 1s 2 2s 1 2p 6 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 7 1s 2 2s 2 2p 8 1s 2 2s 3 2p 6 3s 1 3d 9 Solution Ans : The possible electron configurations are : B) 1s22s22p5 , D) 1s22s22p63s23d8 , E) 1s2s12p6 , F) 1s22s22p63s23p63d7 The orbital cannot have more than electrons in it. So option A , C , G and H are not possible. .
