Which of the following species has an electronic configuration of $[N e] 3 s^{2} 3 p^{4}$ ?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The electronic configuration $[N e] 3 s^{2} 3 p^{4}$ indicates that the element has the electron configuration of Neon (10 electrons) plus an additional 6 electrons in the third shell ( $3 s^{2} 3 p^{4}$ ).

Total number of electrons = $10 + 2 + 4 = 16$ . An atom with 16 electrons is Sulfur (S), which has an atomic number of 16.

Therefore, the configuration corresponds to a neutral Sulfur atom.
