The atom has an atomic number of 20 and has a total of 12 p electrons.

The azimuthal quantum number (l) of the 19th electron is 0 and the magnetic quantum number (m) of the 19th electron is 0.

It is an element of group 2

The number of electrons in the neutral atom is equal to the number of protons and is also the atomic number of an atom.

An atom is known to be electrically neutral. This is because the number of electrons in the atom is equal to the number of protons in the neutral atom.

The number of protons in the neutral atom is called the atomic number of the atom.

For an element that has 20 electrons, its electronic configuration is;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2.

The 19th electron is in the 4s orbital hence both the azimuthal and magnetic quantum numbers are zero.

The element has outermost electron configuration ns2 so it mus belong to group 2 of the periodic table.
