Which element has the following ground-state electron configuration

Question 1

What element has the following ground-state electron configuration?

[Kr]5s24d105p1

Question 2

Which Element Has The Following Ground State Electron Configuration?

1s22s22p2

Question 3

Which element has the following ground state electron configuration to its 2+ cation: [Kr] 4d^3

y, v, sc, mn, tc, nb (all 2+ charge)

Answer to question 1

The answer is Indium (In).

Krypton is a noble gas with atomic number 36.

The required element has a total number of electrons; 36+2+10+1=49

It leads to the period 5 and group 13 of the periodic table. Thus, we can say that the element with 49 electrons in its ground state is Indium.

Answer to question 2

Answer to question 3

Solution : Nb(Niobium) 

 Expalnation:  Electronic configuration of all elements :

 Nb  [Kr] 4d4 5s1And    Nb2+  [Kr] 4d3

Tc  [Kr] 4d5 5s2And   Tc2+  [Kr] 4d5

 [Kr] 4d1 5s2   And   Y2+ – [Kr] 4d1

Mn  [Ar] 3d5 4s2   And   Mn2+ – [Ar] 3d5

 (V) – [Ar] 3d3 4s2   And    (V2+) – [Ar] 3d3 

(Sc)- [Ar] 3d1 4s2   And   (Sc2+)- [Ar] 3d1
