Question

what is the electronic configuration of zinc

Answer 1

Zinc (Zn), atomic # 30, is located in the “d” block in period 4; it's electron configuration would be represented as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10; adding up the exponents (2+2+6+2+6+2+10=30) gives us the atomic number, 30. Electron configurations can also be represented in a condensed form....
