A) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{1}}\]
B) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}},3{{p}^{2}}\]
C) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\]
D) \[[Ar]3{{d}^{10}}\,4{{s}^{2}}4{{p}^{2}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The energy is required to remove an electron from the outermost orbit of an atom is known as ionization energy. \[P-[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\] The outermost p subshell of phosphorus is half filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. Therefore, it is comparatively difficult to remove the electrons from half filled subshell.
