Question

An argon atom with 18 electrons, each with spin s =1/2, has the electron configuration1s²2s²2p 3s²3p6. In this problem, we will consider some hypothetical scenarios in which electrons carry a different spin value.
(a) If the electron spin were s = 1, what would be the electron configuration?
(b) If the electron spin were s = 3/2, what would be the electron configuration?
