Answer :
The electron configuration that is incorrect is of carbon. The correct configuration should be C [He]2s²2p⁴.
The atomic number of carbon is 6. So, it can only have 6 electrons.
The provided configuration of Carbon is C [He]2s²2p⁴.
According to this configuration, carbon has 8 electrons. Two in [He], two in the 2s orbital, 2 in the 2p orbital and 4 in the 2p orbital. This is completely wrong.
There should be only six electron in all the orbitals combined.
The carbon atom cannot hold more than two electrons in the 2p orbital. Either it should be 3 electron in this orbital or 6 electrons. That would make it more stable. Both of these are highly unlikely.
The correct configuration is [He]2s²2p².
