(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electronic configuration of lithium has to be given.

The given orbital diagram is,

  Li

Concept Introduction:

Aufbau’s principle:

Aufbau’s principle states that electrons are filled into atomic orbitals in the increasing order of orbital energy level.  According to the Aufbau principle the available atomic orbitals with the lowest energy levels are occupied before those with higher energy levels.
