MCQ
The electronic configuration of silicon is $ ......... $ and that of sulphur is $ .........$
  • A
    Silicon $- 2, 8, 1$ ; Sulphur $- 2, 8, 6$
  • B
    Silicon $- 2, 8, 4$ ; Sulphur $- 2, 8, 3$
  • C
    Silicon $- 2, 8, 2$ ; Sulphur $- 2, 8, 6$
  • Silicon $- 2, 8, 4$ ; Sulphur $- 2, 8, 6$

Answer

Correct option: D.
