Sulfur full electron configuration


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 199 People


Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 what is the ground-state electron configuration of sulfur​

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Explanation:

For ground state atoms you need to fill the orbitals in order.

Orbital s has max 2 electrons

Orbital p has max 6 electrons

Level 1 only has s orbital

Level 2 has s and p orbitals

Level 3 has s, p and d orbitals

You fill them in order until you reach 16 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4
