The correct Answer is:
To determine which electronic configuration is incorrect, we need to analyze the given configurations based on the principles of electron configuration, particularly Hund's rule and the Pauli exclusion principle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Configurations**: - We are provided with several electronic configurations. The first configuration is: - **Option A**: 1s² 2s² 2pₓ² 2pᵧ² 2p𝓏⁰ - Other configurations are not explicitly stated but will be analyzed in relation to Option A. 2. **Analyze Option A**: - In the 2p subshell, there are three orbitals: 2pₓ, 2pᵧ, and 2p𝓏. - According to Hund's rule, each orbital in a subshell must be singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied. - Here, 2pₓ has 2 electrons, 2pᵧ has 2 electrons, and 2p𝓏 has 0 electrons. This violates Hund's rule because the electrons in the p orbitals should be distributed to maximize the number of unpaired electrons. 3. **Conclusion for Option A**: - Since Option A violates Hund's rule, it is an incorrect configuration. 4. **Analyze Other Options**: - Without specific details of other options, we can generally state that: - **Option B**: Likely follows Hund's rule as it has 1 electron in each p orbital. - **Option C**: Also likely follows Hund's rule with one electron in each p orbital. - **Option D**: Appears to follow the rules of electron configuration and does not violate any principles. 5. **Final Answer**: - The incorrect configuration is **Option A**: 1s² 2s² 2pₓ² 2pᵧ² 2p𝓏⁰.
