What is the ground-state electron configuration expected for polonium?

Answer 1

The electron configuration of Polonium, atom number 84, is:

In shells n=1 to 6:

2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 6

In subshells:

1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6, 4s2 3d10 4p6, 5s2 4d10 5p6, 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4

or in shorthand: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4

Answer 2

The ground-state electron configuration for polonium is [Xe] 4f^14 5d^10 6s^2 6p^4. Polonium is in the same group as oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, so it shares some similar electron configurations with those elements.

Answer 3

Electron configuration of Polonium, atom number 84:

In shells n=1 to 6:

2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 6

In subshells:

1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6, 4s2 3d10 4p6, 5s2 4d10 5p6, 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4

or in shorthand: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4

Answer 4

Since polonium's atomic number is 84, we know that it has 84 protons and 84 electrons. Thus, its complete electron configuration is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6, 4s2 3d10 4p6, 5s2 4d10 5p6, 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4. From this, we see that its highest number shell, which is its valence shell is 6. Thus the valence electron configuration of polonium is 6s2 6p4.

Answer 5

Polonium's atomic number is 84. So, it has 84 protons and 84 electrons.

It's configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4.

This can be also written as [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4.

Answer 6

The electron configuration of polonium is [Xe]4f14.5d10.6s2.6p4.

Answer 7

[Ne] 3s'2' 3p'3'

Answer 8

[Ne] 3s2, 3p3
