B. S	II. [Ne] 3s2 3p4
C. Br	III. [He] 2s2 2p3
D. Kr	IV. [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• B. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV

Answer 2

Let us match the electronic configurations:
A. N (Nitrogen):} Nitrogen has the electronic configuration $1s^2 2s^2 2p^3$, which corresponds to configuration III.
B. S (Sulfur):} Sulfur has the electronic configuration $[\text{Ne}] 3s^2 3p^4$, which corresponds to configuration II.
C. Br (Bromine):} Bromine has the electronic configuration $[\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^5$, which corresponds to configuration I.
D. Kr (Krypton):} Krypton has the electronic configuration $[\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^6$, which corresponds to configuration IV.
Thus, the correct match is A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV. Hence, the answer is (2).
