    a) C = 1s2, 2s2, 2P2

    b) P = 1S2, 2S2, 2P6, 3S2, 3P3

    c) V = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d3, 4s2

    d) Sb = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s2, 4p6, 4d10, 5s2, 5p3

    e) Sm = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s2, 4p6, 4d10, 5s2, 5p6, 4f6, 5d0, 6s2

    Explanation:

    Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.

    Note that: C is the symbol for carbon, P is the symbol for phosphorus, V is the symbol for vanadium, Sb is the symbol for antimony, and Sm is the symbol for Samarium.

    s - orbital accepts maximum of 2 electrons

    p - orbital accepts maximum of 6 electrons

    d - orbital accepts maximum of 10 electrons

    f - orbital accepts maximum of 14 electrons
