**Educational Exercise: Electron Configuration and Element Identification**

---

**Paired Exercise 10.4**

**Objective:** Enter the name of the element for the corresponding electron configuration:

(a) \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^5 \)
  
(b) \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^{10} 4p^6 \)
  
(c) \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^{10} 4p^1 \)
  
(d) \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^1 \)

---

**Instructions:**

1. **Identify the Element from its Electron Configuration:**
   - For each of the given electron configurations (a, b, c, d), determine the corresponding element in the periodic table.
   - Write the name of the element in the provided space next to each configuration.

**Notes:**
- The electron configuration is written with subshells and their respective electron counts (e.g., \(1s^2\) denotes the 1s subshell containing 2 electrons).
- Use the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule, and the Pauli exclusion principle to cross-check and ensure the configurations match the correct number of electrons for the elements.

**Graphical Representation:**
- **Diagrams:** None
- **Textual Explanation Only**

Good luck with your identification!

---

**Example:**
- \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6\) represents the electron configuration for the element Neon (\(Ne\)).

**Your Task:**
- Identify the elements for configurations (a), (b), (c), and (d).
