MCQ
The configuration $1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^5},\,3{s^1}$ shows
  • A
    Excited state of $O_2^ - $
  • Excited state of neon
  • C
    Excited state of fluorine
  • D
    Ground state of fluorine atom

Answer

Correct option: B.
Excited state of neon
b
(b) The ground state of neon is $1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^6}$on excitation an electron from $2p$ jumps to $3s$ orbital.

The excited neon configuration is $1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^5}3{s^1}$.
