Any electron is not fixed to any sub-shell or orbital.
If you provide sufficient energy to an electron, it would make transition to any of the higher energy orbitals and then come back to the lower orbitals radiating energy.
A 3s orbital is associated with more energy than a 2s orbital. This is because the principal quantum number (n) is higher for the 3s orbital compared to the 2s orbital, resulting in higher energy levels.
The electron configurations provided are: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴ The electron configuration that does not belong to the same group or family as the others is (2) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³, as it represents a different element with a different number of valence electrons compared to the other configurations.
The M orbital, there's only 1 electron in it.

Potassium has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. Chloride has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6. When potassium loses one electron to form a K+ ion, the electron configuration becomes 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6. When chloride gains one electron to form a Cl- ion, the electron configuration also becomes 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6. These ions combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride (KCl).

The main difference between a 2s orbital and a 3s orbital is their energy levels. A 3s orbital is at a higher energy level than a 2s orbital. Additionally, the 3s orbital has a larger size and higher probability of finding an electron farther from the nucleus compared to a 2s orbital.
The ground state configuration of 1s²2s²2p²3s²3p¹ is [Ne]3s²3p¹. This notation represents the electron configuration in shorthand form, where [Ne] represents the electron configuration of the noble gas neon (1s²2s²2p⁶).

The electron configuration of CCl4 is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2. This means that the carbon atom has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, 6 electrons in the 2p orbital, 2 electrons in the 3s orbital, and 2 electrons in the 3p orbital.

For the formation of sodium fluoride, sodium (Na) will transfer one electron to fluorine (F) to achieve a stable electron configuration. The electron configuration for sodium is [Ne] 3s^1, and for fluorine, it is [He] 2s^2 2p^5. After transfer, sodium forms the Na+ cation with an electron configuration of [Ne], and fluorine forms the F- anion with an electron configuration of [He] 2s^2 2p^6.
The full electron configuration for sulfur is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^4.
