(a)
Interpretation:
The element with its full and condensed electron configuration and the number of inner electrons is to be determined from the given partial orbital diagram.
Concept introduction:
The electronic configuration tells about the distribution of electrons in various atomic orbitals.
The full electronic configuration of an atom tells about the distribution of electrons in its various atomic orbital.
The condensed electronic configuration is a way to write the electronic configuration where the inner shell configurations are compressed to the nearest noble gas configuration and only the valence shell configuration is written in the expanded form.
The partial orbital diagram is the one that shows the distribution of valence electrons only.
The inner electrons are present in the inner orbitals of the atom and the valence electrons are present in the outermost shell of the atom.
The number of inner electrons is calculated by subtracting the valence electrons from the total number of electrons
