(03.03 MC) Which element is represented by the electron configuration in example B? Example B: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p2 Polonium Sulfur Silicon Germanium

Germanium

Explanation:

The electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p² is that of an atom of an element with atomic number 32.

The element that has an atomic number of 32 in the Periodic Table of elements is Germanium with the symbol Ge. It belongs to group IVA of the periodic table as it has four electrons in its valence shell. Its ten 3d electrons are inner electrons, whereas the two 4s and 4p electrons constitutes its valence shell electrons. It also belongs to the period 4 of the periodic table.

Germanium is a silvery-white semi-metal. It is brittle. Germanium is a semiconductor.
