Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Electron Configuration

The image shows the electron configuration of an atom using orbital diagrams. The orbitals are labeled as 1s, 2s, and 2p.

Step 2: Count the Electrons in Each Orbital
  • 1s orbital: 2 electrons (both paired)
  • 2s orbital: 2 electrons (both paired)
  • 2p orbitals: 5 electrons (three unpaired and two paired)
Step 3: Determine the Element

Sum the total number of electrons:

  • 1s: 2 electrons
  • 2s: 2 electrons
  • 2p: 5 electrons Total: 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 electrons

An atom with 9 electrons corresponds to the element Fluorine (F).

Final Answer

The element represented by the given electron configuration is Fluorine (F).
