Solution

To determine which species has the electronic configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p21s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^2, we can analyze the given options.

  1. Break Down the Problem

    • We need to analyze each of the options provided and see which one corresponds to the electronic configuration that has 14 electrons in total, as deduced from the configuration above.
  2. Relevant Concepts

    • The electronic configuration will tell us the number of electrons in an atom or ion. In this case, 1s22s22p63s23p21s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^2 indicates a total of 14 electrons.
  3. Analysis and Detail

    • The elements or ions we are considering are:
      • F (Fluorine): Atomic number 9, configuration is 1s22s22p51s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^5, not a match.
      • Al^3+ (Aluminum ion): Atomic number 13, configuration for Al would be 1s22s22p63s23p11s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^1, but as a 3+3+ ion, it has given up 3 electrons. Thus, its configuration is 1s22s22p61s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6, not a match.
      • S^2- (Sulfide ion): Atomic number 16, with configuration 1s22s22p63s23p41s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^4, also not a match.
      • Si (Silicon): Atomic number 14, the configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p21s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^2, which matches perfectly.
  4. Verify and Summarize

    • Among the provided options, only Silicon (SiSi) has the electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s23p21s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^2 with a total of 14 electrons.

Final Answer

The element with the electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s23p21s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^2 is Silicon (Si).
