(a)

Interpretation: The electron configuration of Sc element should be determined.
Concept Introduction: Arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom in an increasing order of energy of the orbital is said to be the electron configuration.
Answer to Problem 1E
Explanation of Solution
The number of electrons present in an element in its neutral state is equal to the number of protons in that element and is said to be its atomic number, which is unique for every element. Arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom in an increasing order of energy of the orbital is said to be the electron configuration.
Since, the atomic number of Sc is 21 so, the number of electrons in Sc is 21.
The electron configuration of Sc is:
