question 3 (2 points)
the abbreviated electron configuration for p is:
ar3s²3p³
ne1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³
ne3s²3p³

Explanation:

• Phosphorus (P) has an atomic number of 15.
• Neon (Ne) has an atomic number of 10.
• The abbreviated electron configuration uses the noble gas core. After Ne (10 electrons), there are 5 more electrons for P. These 5 electrons fill the \(3s\) (2 electrons) and \(3p\) (3 electrons) orbitals.

Answer:

[Ne]\(3s^{2}3p^{3}\)
