PLEASE HELP(Just one simple question) The diagram shows the electron configuration of an atom of an element for the electrons in the s and p orbitals. A shaded circle is shown. There are two concentric circles around this shaded circle. The inner concentric circle has two dark shaded dots. The outer concentric circle has two dark shaded dots in the corresponding position to the inner concentric circle. The outer concentric circle also has three light shaded dots one on its left boundary, one on the right boundary and the third on the lower boundary. What is the group number of the element in the periodic table? (5 points) 1 2 13 15

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
