What is the electron configuration of an F^- ion?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The notation provided seems to be a mix-up or a misunderstanding. However, interpreting it as a request for the electron configuration of a hypothetical ion with a specific notation, the closest logical answer based on standard electron configuration principles would be option C. This is because it follows the correct filling order of electron orbitals (1s, 2s, 2p) and fills the 2p orbital with 6 electrons, which is its maximum capacity, indicating a stable configuration. The other options either do not fill the orbitals in the correct order or do not fill them to their correct capacities.
