**Electron Configuration and Questions**A neutral atom has the following electron configuration:\[ \text{[Ne]} \, 3s^2 3p^4 \]**Questions:**1. **What is the chemical symbol for the atom?** - [ ]2. **How many electrons does the atom have?** - [ ]3. **How many \(3p\) electrons are in the atom?** - [ ]**Explanation:**- **Electron Configuration:** The notation \([Ne]\) represents the electron configuration of Neon, indicating the presence of a full 1s and 2s/2p subshells (10 electrons).- **\(3s^2\) and \(3p^4\):** These notations describe the electrons in the third energy level with 2 electrons in the 3s subshell and 4 electrons in the 3p subshell, making a total of 6 additional electrons beyond Neon.The diagram includes a set of three questions, each with a space provided for answers. The interface also shows small icons for settings or navigation, including an 'X' for closing and a circular arrow for refreshing or redoing actions.

A neutral atom always has equal number of protons and electrons. Also, atomic number of element is always equal to number of protons present in it.Atomic number of Neon is 10, that means total number of electrons in the atom of unknown element are:10 + 2 + 4 = 1610 electrons of Neon, 2 electrons of 3s and 4 electrons of 3p orbital.The total number of electrons atom is 16Since, in an atom, number of electrons always equal to number of protons and number of protons is always equal to atomic number, therefore,Z = 1616 is the atomic number of Sulfur with symbol S.Since, electronic configuration of Sulfur is [Ne], 3s2, 3p4 therefore total number of 3p electrons are 4.Chemical symbol : SElectrons the atom has : 163p electrons = 4
