Question
Question: Which element has the electron configuration of \[1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^6}3{s^2}3{p^6}4{s^2}3{d^3}\] ?...
Which element has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3 ?
Solution
The chemical elements are arranged in the modern periodic table in the increasing order of atomic number. Atomic number gives the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons. when the last electron enters into d-orbital then that element belongs to d-block. Vanadium is the element with atomic number 23 has the five valence electrons. out of which three electrons are in d-orbital.
Complete answer:
Periodic table is the representation of chemical elements arranged in the increasing order of atomic numbers in vertical columns and horizontal rows. The vertical columns were known as groups and the horizontal rows were known as periods. There are a total of 118 elements arranged in 7 periods and 18 groups. These elements are also divided into four blocks namely s, p, d, and f blocks. The elements whose last electron is entering into d-orbital are known as d-block elements.
The d-block elements have three series namely 3d,4d, and 5d series. Vanadium is the element with atomic number 23 belongs to 3d series. It has 23 electrons arranged in the orbitals according to their energy. The electronic configuration of vanadium is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3 , which has five valence electrons.
Thus, the element has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3 is vanadium.
Note:
Vanadium is the element that belongs to 3d series in d-block, as the last electron is entering into 3d orbital. It has the chemical symbol of V. Vanadium can be used in medicine supplements to treat many diseases like tuberculosis, diabetes, low blood sugar and high cholesterol.
