Question:
how many electrons are present in an atom with its 1s, 2s and 2p subshell filled ? what is this element?
Electronic Configuration of Elements:
The ground-state electronic configuration of an element is the distribution of its electrons into various shells and subshells in its most stable state.
The specific distribution of electrons into the shells and subshells of an element determines its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties.

View this answer- The ground-state electronic configuration of the element should be : {eq}1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6} {/eq}
- Thus, it has 2 + 2 + 6 = 10 electrons in...
