Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following elements has the highest energy level in its electronic configuration?
  • Step 1: Understand that the energy level of an element is determined by its electron configuration.
  • Step 2: Identify the electron configuration of each element given in the question.
  • Step 3: Look for the highest principal quantum number (n) in the electron configurations. This number indicates the energy level.
  • Step 4: Compare the principal quantum numbers of the elements. The element with the highest n value has the highest energy level.
  • Step 5: For Potassium (K), the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s1, where '4' is the highest principal quantum number.
  • Step 6: Conclude that Potassium (K) has the highest energy level among the options provided.
