Question

Explain the Electronic configuration of: 

(i) Sulphur (S)

(ii) Chlorine (Cl)

(iii) Argon (Ar)

Answer 1

Electronic configuration of Sulphur (S)

Atomic number of sulphur = 16

Therefore number of electrons = 15

Thus, electronic configuration of sulphur is

Number of orbit in sulphur = 3

Electronic configuration of Chlorine (Cl)

Atomic number of chlorine = 17

Therefore number of electrons = 17

Thus, electronic configuration of chlorine is

Number of orbit in chlorine = 3

Electronic configuration of Argon (Ar)

Atomic number of argon = 18

Therefore number of electrons = 18

Thus, electronic configuration of argon is

Number of orbit in argon = 3
