Question 8 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which of the following is the correct electron configuration for titanium (Ti)?

Answer
A
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2
B
1s22s22p63s23p63d4
C
1s22s22p63s23p64s24p2

Explanation

Titanium has 22 electrons. Filling orbitals in order gives 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶, accounting for 18 electrons; the remaining four fill 4s² and then 3d². Therefore, the correct configuration is choice A, 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d².
