3s2, 3p4 valence shell electronic configuration corresponds to ?

Correct answer: A. S

  • A. S
  • B. Cl+2
  • C. Cl-2
  • D. K+1

Explanation

The valence shell electronic configuration shows that the element has 6 valence electrons,therefore it belongs to the 6th group.The n value in valence shell electronic configration is 3 which shows that it belongs to the third period,hence the element whose valence shell electronic configrtion is given is Sulphur.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
