Answer #1

The electronic configuration of P element is

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 [atomic number 15]

The actual orbital diagram is

1s2 2s2 p6 3,231p3

A wrong one will be where we start pairing in 3p orbital before filling of all the orbitals of the subshell which will be against Hund's multiplicity rule

Example:

1s2 2s2 p6 3,231p3

This is impossible
