Use the periodic table to determine the ground-state electron configuration for the following element: Ti A) [Ar]4s²3d² B) [Ar]4s¹ 3d³ C) [Ar]3d⁴ D) [Ar]4s²3d⁴ E) [Ar]4s¹3d⁵

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ground-state electron configuration for Ti is [Ar]4s²3d² because it is a transition metal in group 4 and has two valence electrons in the 4s orbital and two in the 3d orbital.
