what is the electron configuration for an electrically neutral atom of neon (ne)?

1s^2 2s^2 2p^4

1s^2 2s^2 2p^4d^2

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6

1s^2 2s^2

1= Magnesium

2 = Option 3 =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Explanation:

An electrically neutral atom consist of equal number of protons and electrons.

The answer for 1st q is magnesium because the electronic configuration showed twelve number of electrons. The atomic number of magnesium is twelve that's why this configuration is of Mg.

Mg₁₂ =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

The second answer is option three because has atomic number ten and third electronic configuration have ten electrons.

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

It is stable electronic configuration. Neon is inert because of this electronic configuration. The outer most shell is completely filled.

it's c. elements are placed in rows based on how may valencies electrons have.

there are two significant figures.
