Question

There are three shells in the atom of element ‘X’, 6 electrons are present in its outmost shell.Write the electronic configuration of the element.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given: Number of shells present in “X” = 3

Number of electrons present in the outermost shell = 6

Electronic configuration = 2,8,6

It is given that there are three shells present.

Six electrons are present in the outermost shell. This means the first two shells have complete octet, i.e., 2,8

Thus, electronic configuration of the element X is 2,8,6
