Write the distribution of electrons in a carbon atom. (Atomic number of carbon = 6) |
|
Answer» The atomic number of carbon is 6, so a carbon atom has 6 electrons in it. Out of 6 electrons : (i) the first 2 electrons will occupy K shelll. For this we write `underset(2)(K)` (ii) the remaining `6 - 2 = 4` electrons will go to L shell. For this we write `underset(4)(L)` So, the distribution of electrons in the carbon atom (or the electronic configuration of a carbon atom) will be : `underset("2, 4")("K L")or2,4`. |
