Verified step by step guidance1
Examine the given electron orbital diagram. The diagram shows the distribution of electrons in different orbitals.
Count the total number of electrons represented in the diagram. Each arrow represents one electron.
Identify the electron configuration based on the diagram. The diagram shows the filling of orbitals in the order of 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p.
Match the electron configuration to the corresponding element. The configuration shown is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.
Determine the element with this electron configuration. The element with the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴ is Sulfur.
