MCQ
Which of the following outer electronic configuration represents argon
  • A
    $n{s^2}$
  • $n{s^2}n{p^6}$
  • C
    $n{s^2}n{p^5}$
  • D
    $n{s^2}n{p^4}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$n{s^2}n{p^6}$
b
Outer electronic configuration represents argon $ns ^2, np ^6$.

Atomic no. of argon is $18$. Its electronic configuration will be $1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6$.

As the outermost shell is full $\left(3 s ^2 3 p ^6\right)$ it is called noble gas.
