Identify the element, and write its condensed ground-state electron configuration?

One reason spectroscopists study excited states is to gain information about the energies of orbitals that are unoccupied in an atom's ground state. Each of the following electron configurations represents an atom in an excited state. Identify the element, and write its condensed ground-state electron configuration.(a) 1s22s22p63s13p1 element ground state electron configuration [ ] (b) 1s22s22p63s23p44s1 element ground state electron configuration [ ] (c) 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d44p1 element ground state electron configuration [ ] (d) 1s22s22p53s1 element ground state electron configuration [ ]
