Question

electronic configuration of carbon inits excited state
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

HEY MATE ..

Explanation:A neutral carbon atom has atomic number 6, with 6 protons and 6 electrons. The ground state electron configuration for carbon is 1s22s22p2.

When a carbon atom becomes excited by absorbing energy, one of its 2s electrons is promoted into the 2p sublevel. The excited state electron configuration for carbon is 1s22s12p3 . This is just one possibility.This is unstable, and the excited electron will drop back down to the 2ssublevel, emitting electromagnetic radiation as itdoes so.The diagram below shows how a carbon atom in its ground state can be excited by the addition of energy.
