(2) 2-7-8 (4) 2-8-8
The electron configuration that represents the atoms of chlorine in an excited state is 2-7-8. This is because in the excited state, an electron has moved from the second energy level to the third
The electron configuration represents the distribution of electrons in an atom's energy levels. The standard electron configuration for a ground state (normal state) chlorine atom is 2-8-7. However, when an atom is in an excited state, one or more electrons have moved to a higher energy level. In the case of chlorine, an electron from the second energy level could be excited to the third energy level. So, the electron configuration representing an atom of chlorine in an excited state would be option (2) 2-7-8.

1. Cl1−
2. Co4+
3. Fe2+
4. V
5. Sc2−
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.
Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.
Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.
Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.
Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, has the greatest number of electrons.
Among the given species, has the greatest number of electrons.
Further Explanation:
The arrangement of electrons in various shells and sub-shells of an atom is called electronic distribution. The electron filling is done by keeping following rules and principles in mind:
(i). Aufbau principle
According to this, electron filling takes place in orbitals in the increasing order of their respective energies. The energy order of orbitals is as follows:
(ii) Hund’s rule
No electron will b epaired until each orbital is singly occupied.
(iii) Pauli’s exclusion principle
It states that two electrons can never have all the four quantum numbers same. The value of spin quantum number for both electrons must b edifferent.
1. According to the periodic table, the atomic number of Cl is 17 so its electronic configuration is . It gains an electron to form ion and its configuration becomes . So it has a total of 18 electrons.
2. According to the periodic table, the atomic number of Co is 27 so its electronic configuration is . It loses four electrons, two 4s electrons and two 3d electrons to form ion and its configuration becomes . So it has a total of 23 electrons.
3. According to the periodic table, the atomic number of Fe is 26 so its electronic configuration is . It loses two 4s electrons to form ion and its configuration becomes . So it has a total of 24 electrons.
4. According to the periodic table, the atomic number of V is 23 so its electronic configuration is . So it has a total of 23 electrons.
5. According to the periodic table, the atomic number of Sc is 21 so its electronic configuration is . It gains two electrons to form ion and its configuration becomes . So it has a total of 23 electrons.
Therefore, the maximum number of electrons is present in (24).
