what is electronic configaration of arscenic atomic number 33, in its excited state ?

Dear Student

Arsenic, As
Atomic number = 33

Electronic configuration is 1s2 , 2s2, 2p6 , 3s​2 , 3p6 , 4s2 , 3d10 , 4p3 
Or, [Ar] ​4s2 , 3d10 , 4p3

Now, in the excited state, the electronic configuration would be -
1s2 , 2s2, 2p6 , 3s​2 , 3p6 , 4s2 , 3d9 , 4p4 

In this case, one of the electrons from 3d has moved to more energetic 4p level.

Regards
