Question

which region of the periodic table would an element with the electron configuration be located 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^6 4s^1

Answer 1

the configuration has a typo mistake but I can guess it will be in the first column or group of the earth metals. More specifically looks like is the configuration of the potassium "K"

Answer 2

If you count the number of electrons its 17 which would make it chlorine. But as Cuanchi sayd theres a typo somewhere

Answer 3

3s^6 4s^1
3s^2 3p^6 4s^1

the s can not have 6 electrons the max is 2
