Question
What are the atomic numbers of elements whose outermost electrons is represented by 2p3.
Advertisements
Solution
2p3
Completing the electron configuration of the element as
1s2 2s2 2p3.
∴ Number of electrons present in the atom of the element = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7
∴ Atomic number of the element = 7
