A natural atom of an element has `2K,8L, 9M` and `2N` electrons .The atomic number of element is :

Options

A. 20
B. 21
C. 22
D. 23

Answer

B

Explanation

`overset(2K,8L,9M,and,2N)underset(1s^(2),2s^(2)p^(6),3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(1), 4s^(2))`
`({:(K means n = 1, l means n = 2),(M means n = 3 , N means n = 4):})`
`"Structure is" `3d^(1),4s^(2)`
Atomic number 21
