Problem: The element that corresponds to the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d5 is: A) titanium B) vanadiumC) mangneseD) chromium

We are being asked to determine the element that corresponds to the electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹3d⁵

For a neutral element, Atomic number = # of protons = # of electrons.

Recall that:

• s–subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons

• p–subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons

• d–subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons
