Answer:
[tex][Ar]4s^23d^5[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we write the electron configuration of the manganese atom by noticing its atomic number is 25, so we fill the orbitals and levels up-to 25 electrons as shown below:
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^5[/tex]
Moreover, for the condensed electron configuration, we consider the previous noble gas, that is argon, electron configuration which is:
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6[/tex]
By cause of its atomic number that is 18. In such a way, we combine argon's electron configuration with manganese's to obtain its condensed version:
[tex][Ar]4s^23d^5[/tex]
Regards.
