Question

What is the electronic configuration of the Boron 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 Boron:

• The atomic symbol of Boron is $\mathrm{B}$.
• The atomic number of Boron is $5$ which is a non-metal and it belongs to $2^{nd}$ period and ${13}^{th}$ group of the periodic table.
• The electronic configuration of Boron is $1{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{p}}^1$.

Hence, the electronic configuration of the Boron atom is $1{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{p}}^1$.
