Given information

The given electronic configuration is . It is to be interpreted if it is a noble gas or a metalloid.

 

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

In the molecular or atomic orbitals, the electrons of an atom or molecule are distributed. This distribution of electrons is called as the electronic configuration of the atom or molecule. It is used to show the orbitals of an atom in its ground state.

Noble gases are the elements which have completely filled outer electronic configurations. Metalloids are elements which have properties in between those of metals and non metals and thus have partially filled outer electronic configurations. 

The outer electronic configuration for noble gas is and . The outer electronic configuration for metalloids is and .
