Solution

Understanding electronic configuration:

  • The electronic configuration is written to describe the presence of electrons in different subshells of an atom.
  • Based on various data obtained while writing the electronic configuration of an atom, the element is placed in the group and period to which the element must belong.
  • The number of subshells depends upon the number of electrons.
  • Argon is a noble gas that has 18 electrons and its electronic configuration is: 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,
  • The above written electronic configuration shows that the maximum number of shells is 3.
