    Option C is correct

    1s22s22p5 and [Ne]3s23p5

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Group 17 = the halogens

    Halogens have 7 valence electrons

    The first element of group 17 = Fluorine (F)

    Fluorine has 9 electrons

    The electron configuration is

    1s2 2s2 2p5

    The second element of group 17 = Chlorine (Cl)

    Chlorine has 17 electrons

    The electron configuration is

    1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

    Option C is correct

    1s22s22p5 and [Ne]3s23p5
