Question

Explain the Electronic configuration of:

(i) Beryllium

(ii) Boron

(iii) Carbon

Answer 1

Electronic configuration of Beryllium

Atomic number of beryllium = 4.

Therefore number of electrons = 4.

Thus, electronic configuration of Beryllium is

Number of orbit in beryllium = 2

Electronic configuration of Boron

Atomic number of boron = 5

Therefore number of electrons = 5

Thus, electronic configuration of boron is

Number of orbit in boron = 2

Electronic configuration of Carbon

Atomic number of carbon = 6

Therefore number of electrons = 6

Thus, electronic configuration of carbon is

Number of orbit in carbon = 2
