    Which is not a possible electronic configuration?

    A) \[\text{1}  {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{,}\,\text{2}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}},\,\text{2}{{\text{p}}^{\text{5}}}\]      

    B) \[\text{1}  {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{,}\,{{\text{2}}_{\text{s}}}^{\text{2}}\text{,}\,\text{2}{{\text{p}}^{\text{6}}}\text{,}\,\text{3s}\]

    C)  \[\text{1}  {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{,}\,1{{\text{p}}^{\text{6}}}\text{,}\,2\text{s}\]               

    D) \[1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}},\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[1{{s}^{2}},1{{p}^{6}},2s\] is not a possible configuration, because here \[2+6=8\]electrons are shown in first orbit. While there can not be more than 2 electrons in first orbit.
