The valence shell electronic configuration of Ca is Ar[ ]:
Correct answer: D. 4s2
- A. 1s2
- B. 2s2
- C. 3s2
- D. 4s2
Explanation
As calcium belongs to group number IIA and period number 4, thus its electronic configuration is:Ca= [Ar] 4s²

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.
