Part C
The electron configuration can also be represented by writing the symbol for the occupied subshell and adding a superscript to indicate the number of electrons in that subshell. For example, consider a carbon atom having an atomic number of 6 . The total number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom is 6 . The electron configuration of the carbon atom represented by the orbital diagram is
\[
\mathrm{C}=\frac{11}{1 s} \frac{11}{1 s} \frac{1|1|}{|1|}
\]
This electron configuration can be written as
\[
1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{2}
\]
where \( 1 s, 2 s \), and \( 2 p \) are the occupied subshells, and the superscript " 2 " is the number of electrons in each of these subshells. Use the rules for determining electron configurations to write the electron configuration for P .
Express your answer in complete form in order of orbital filling. For example, \( 1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} \) should be entered as \( 1 s^{\wedge} 22 s^{\wedge} 2 \).
