What is the ground-state electron configuration for Carbon?

Question

this is a question in my organic chem course that I have to reseach.

Answer 1

Check that out, explains exactly what you are looking for (scroll down for the exact explanation for Carbon).

Answer 2

2-4. The inner orbital is one pair. The second is 4 singlets.

Answer 3

According to the spdf model, it is 1s2(2s2)2p2; the configuration used in methane (tetrahedral) is elevated: 1s2 [2(sp^3)4]

The MCAS model has it a bit different: 1M2, 2M1(2C3) base as three electrons roam together; in the methane configuration, the 2M electron is elevated in energy and the 4-second shell electrons roam together: 1M2 (2C4)

Answer 4

carbon atomic number is 6.

its electronic configuration in ground state is- 1s2 2s2 2p2.

Answer 5

A pair of electrons in the 2s orbital and one each in two of the 3 orthogonal 2p orbitals.  (In bonding, there is hybridization to 4 sp3 orbitals for 4 single bonds or 3 sp2 for 2 single (sp2) and one double (sp2 and p) bond or 2 sp for {[1 single (sp) and one triple (sp and 2 p)] or [2 double (sp and p)]}.)
