How is it possible to deduce the identity of an element from its electron configuration?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • An electron configuration is unique to each element, much like its atomic spectrum.

  • If the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons corresponds to the atom's atomic number.

  • The number of occupied shells corresponds to the atom's atomic number.

  • Using the periodic table, the outermost occupied shell indicates the group while the number of occupied shells indicates the period.
