For better representation, let me rewrite the electronic configuration:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁴

The exponents represent the number of electrons in the designated subshell. Thus, the total number of electrons are:
# of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+2+4 = 24

Assuming this is in neutral state, the element with an atomic number of 24 is Chromium. Thus, the answer is Cr.
