Joey wrote the electrical configuration of polonium as follows as [Po] 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p6 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p4.
Why did he write like that?
- Because he must start the electronic structure by showing the polonium symbol.
- The symbol must be positioned between two brackets.
- It should show how many electrons it has in each level of the electron shells.
The electronic configuration of a chemical element consists of showing the electron distribution of an atom of that element in the energy levels of its electronic layers and its sublevels. These layers form a sequence from the lowest to the most energetic layer.
An example of how these layers are organized can be seen in the figure below.
