An element with an electron configuration of $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$ will have properties most similar to which element?

If I were you, I would get a copy of . The identity of the element will be quite unambiguous.

Chemical "properties" are based on their electron structure, and it is how of the is constructed. The columns (Groups) are elements with the same valence (outer) shell electron structure, increasing...

Think of ionization energy as the separation between the energy of the electron in its ground state in the atom, and the same electron being removed from the atom -...

The element is "excited", so it still has all its electrons. The element contains 17 electrons. It must be element with 17: chlorine.

Phosphorus has $15$. As such its electronic configuration in ground state is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^3$ The following electronic configurations could be excited states $1s^2 2s^2...

If you are referring to a neutral atom, then Vanadium (V) has that particular . Remember that for neutral atoms, the number of electrons must equal the . Adding...

Subshell notation of magnesium is 2.8.2. We know that magnesium is in Group 2, Period 3. Hence it has an energy level of 3. By doing this, we can...

Potassium is the first element in the fourth period and its is $["Ar"]4"s"^1$.

If the sodium is ionised, the outer $3s^1$ electron is lost, so the configuration becomes $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6$, which is the same as neon, $Ne$.

All I have done here is to use $"the Periodic Table"$, a copy of which you will always have available in every exam in chemistry and physics you will ever...
