The ground state electronic configurations of the elements,$U, V, W, X,$ and $Y$ (these symbols do not have any chemical significance) are as follows:
$U: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3$
$V: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$
$W: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2$
$X: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^5 4s^2$
$Y: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^6$
