Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that helium (He) has an atomic number of 2, which means it has 2 electrons.
Understand that electron configurations describe the distribution of electrons in atomic orbitals, following the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule.
Start filling electrons into the lowest energy orbital first, which is the 1s orbital. Since helium has 2 electrons, both will occupy the 1s orbital.
Write the electron configuration by placing both electrons in the 1s orbital, which is represented as \$1s^2$.
Compare the given options to the correct configuration \$1s^2$ and identify that the correct answer is the one showing \$1s^2$.
