![**Question 8 (1 point)** ✓ **Saved**
**Given the following orbital diagram, what is the element?**
[Image of an orbital diagram showing increasing energy levels with the following electron configuration:]
- 1s: ↑↓
- 2s: ↑↓
- 2p: ↑↓ ↑↓ ↑↓
- 3s: ↑
**Possible answers:**
- Ca
- Na
- K (marked as correct)
- Mg
**Explanation of the orbital diagram:**
The diagram illustrates the electron configuration of an element. The y-axis represents increasing energy levels. Each horizontal line represents an orbital, and the arrows indicate the electron's spin within those orbitals. The first level noted is the 1s orbital with two electrons (↑↓), followed by the 2s orbital also with two electrons (↑↓). The next set is the 2p orbitals, which can hold a total of six electrons, and in this case, they are fully occupied (↑↓ ↑↓ ↑↓). Lastly, there is one electron in the 3s orbital (↑).
- **1s orbital:** Fully filled with two electrons.
- **2s orbital:** Fully filled with two electrons.
- **2p orbitals:** Fully filled with six electrons.
- **3s orbital:** Partially filled with one electron.
Based on this configuration, the correct element corresponds to an atomic number of 11, which is Potassium (K).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6746fa6f-1856-443b-addc-ecae5d9da9b9%2F41b58d88-e546-4fc9-b4b3-92c9964b3cee%2F75cy44s.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
