Question
Write the outer electronic configuration of the following using the orbital notation method. Justify.
Po (belongs to period 6 and group 16)
Advertisements
Solution
- Po belongs to period 6. Therefore, n = 6.
- Group 16 indicates that the element belongs to the p-block of the modern periodic table.
- The general outer electronic configuration of group 16 elements is ns2np4.
- Thus, the outer electronic configuration of Po is 6s26p4.
