Answer. The electronic configuration of the zinc will be
[tex][Ar]4s^{2}3d^{10}[/tex]
Explanation:
Zinc belongs to 3d series of transition metal of the periodic table. Its atomic number is 30 which means it contains 30 electrons.
The nearest noble gas which lies close to zinc is argon (atomic no = number of electrons = 18) and thus the electronic configuration can be represented as:
[tex][Zn]=[Ar]4s^{2}3d^{10}[/tex]
