Which of the following element will have same number of electrons in s-as well as p-type of orbitals — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The electronic configuration of Mg is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2$. The number of s-electrons is $2+2+2 = 6$. The number of p-electrons is 6. Thus, they are equal. Therefore, correct answer is B.
