In: 1s2 2s2 2p1 3s1 there are (2+2+1+1) = 6 electrons , so if it is a neutral (non ionic) element then it should be Carbon, which is in ground state 1s2 2s2 2p2 (3s0).

What is the element with the excited state of 1s22s22p33s1?

The element with the excited state of 1s22s22p33s1 is sodium. In its ground state, sodium has the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s1, but in the excited state, one of the electrons from the 3s orbital is promoted to a higher energy level in the 3p orbital.


Why an element show excited state?

An element shows an excited state when its electrons absorb energy and move to higher energy levels. This can happen when the element is exposed to heat, light, or electricity. In the excited state, the electrons are in an unstable configuration, and they will eventually return to their ground state by emitting energy in the form of light or heat.


Is 2-8-7 an excited state?

No, 2-8-7 does not indicate an excited state. It typically represents the electron configuration of an element in its ground state, specifically for nitrogen. An excited state would involve the electrons being in higher energy levels than the ground state configuration.


Will the total number of electrons change when a specific element's electrons gain energy to shift from the ground state to the excited state?

No. The atom in this case i not ionised.


What is the element for 1s22s22p63s2?

Magnesium (Mg) with two valence electrons


What makes an elements electrons in an excited state?

An element's electrons can be in an excited state when they absorb energy from an external source, such as heat or light. This added energy causes the electrons to move to higher energy levels further from the nucleus. As the electrons return to their original energy levels, they release this extra energy in the form of light or heat.


Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?

Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.


Why triplet state is found to be more stable than excited state?

Why triplet excited state is found to be more stable than singlet excited state?


Do atoms in the excited state have more electrons than in the ground state?

Yes, because an atom in an excited state will normally give off energy and go to a less-excited state or to its ground state. Some atoms have long-lived excited states and are called "metastable".


State in which electrons have jumped to a higher energy level?

state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level


What is meant by excited state of an electron?
