Identify the element with the given electron orbital diagram. 

• A. Silicon
• B. Fluorine
• C. Sulfur
• D. Chlorine
• E. Phosphorus

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Step 1: Count the total number of electrons represented in the orbital diagram by counting all the arrows (each arrow represents one electron).
2. Step 2: Identify the electron configuration by noting how the electrons fill the orbitals: start with 1s, then 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, etc., following the Aufbau principle.
3. Step 3: Determine the total number of electrons to find the atomic number of the element, since the number of electrons equals the atomic number in a neutral atom.
4. Step 4: Match the atomic number to the corresponding element on the periodic table.
5. Step 5: Verify the element by comparing the electron configuration to the known configurations of the given options (Silicon, Fluorine, Sulfur, Chlorine, Phosphorus) to confirm the correct element.
