Answer 1

The element between Krypton and Argon as decribed is; Niobium (Nb).

An element which is +1/2, +1/2, +1/2 in the p area when looking at it's orbital configuration can be described as follows;

• Has 3 electrons in its outermost p-orbital.

• In essence, it has, 5 electrons in its outermost shell including its 2 electrons in its outermost s-orbital.
