Find the number of unpaired electrons in the atom of the element having atomic number 16 .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronic configuration of an atom of the element with atomic number 16 is `1 s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p_(x)^(1) 3p_(y)^(1) 3p_(z)^(1)`
Thus , number of unpaired electrons is 2 .
