Question

What is the electron configuration of neon atom?

Answer 1

Electronic configuration: The arrangement of electrons into the orbitals of an atom using some fundamental principle is called its electronic configuration.

Electronic configuration of Neon(Ne):

• Neon is a p-block element having the atomic number 10.
• So, the electron configuration of Neon is $1{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{p}}^6$
• Now, the Neon atom have fully filled valence shell. So, Neon atom is very less reactive and due to their less reactive, Neon is also known as noble gas.
