Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condensed electron configuration of chlorine is [Ne] 3s2 3p5. The [Ne] represents the 10 electrons in the filled 1s2 2s2 2p6 subshells. The remaining 7 electrons are distributed in the 3s and 3p subshells. This corresponds to the configuration 3s2 3p5, which matches choice C.
