Explanation:
Here is the way you can follow to write the electron configuration of radon(Rn) within five steps.
Step-1:
Step-2:
The atomic number of Radon is 86.Therefore, Radon has 86 protons and equal number of electrons.That is Radon has 86 electrons.
The chemical symbol of Radon is Rn.
The chemical symbol of Radon is Rn.
Step-2:
For doing electron configuration of Radon or any elements ,we have to memorise the orbital sequence.Now memorize the following sequence of the orbitals.
ss
ps ps
dps dps
fdps fdps fdps fdps....
In a line-
fdps fdps fdps fdps.......
Step-3:
Now first numer the s-orbital (start with 1s)like this:
1s2s
p3s p 4s
dp 5s dp 6s
fdp7s fdp 8s...... According to your need.
In a line-
1s2s p3s p 4s dp 5s dp 6s
ss
ps ps
dps dps
fdps fdps fdps fdps....
In a line-
ss ps ps dps dps fdps fdps
fdps fdps fdps fdps.......
Step-3:
Now first numer the s-orbital (start with 1s)like this:
1s2s
p3s p 4s
dp 5s dp 6s
fdp7s fdp 8s...... According to your need.
In a line-
1s2s p3s p 4s dp 5s dp 6s
fdp7s fdp 8s........
Remember ●s-orbital start with 1s
● p-orbital start with 2p
● d-orbital start with 3d
● f-orbital start with 4f
Look at the picture:
Again,Now(second) number the p-orbital(start with 2p) like this:
ss
2ps 3ps
d 4ps d 5ps
fd6ps fd7ps fd8ps fd9ps....
In a line--
ss 2ps 3ps d4ps d5ps
fd6ps fd7ps fd8ps fd9ps....
Thirdly, number the d-orbital(begin with 3d)like this:
ss
ps ps
3dps 4dps
f5dps f6dps f7dps f8dps....
In a line--
ss ps ps 3dps 4dps
f5dps f6dps f7dps f8dps....
Fourthly,number the f-orbital(start with 4f) like this:
ss
ps ps
dps dps
4fdps 5fdps 6fdps 7fdps....
In a line--
ss ps ps dps dps 4fdps 5fdps 6fdps 7fdps......
Fifltly,number s,p,d,f together like this....
1s2s
2p3s 3p4s
3d4p5s 4d5p6s
4f5d6p7s 5f6d7p8s
6f7d8p9s.........
In a line----
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p 8s
6f 7d 8p 9s.........
You have to memorize the above sequence of the orbitals.
Step-4:
You have to know that
•S-orbital can hold maximum 2 electrons.
•p-orbital can hold maximum 6 electrons.
•d-orbital can hold maximum 10 electrons.
•f-orbital can hold maximum 14 electrons.
Step-5:
Since we know that Rn(Radon) has 86 electrons,so the electronic configuration of Rn will be....
s² s²
p⁶s² p⁶s²
d¹ºp⁶s² d¹ºp⁶s²
f¹⁴d¹ºp⁶s fdps fdps....
So,we are getting..
s² s²
p⁶s² p⁶s²
d¹ºp⁶s² d¹ºp⁶s²
f¹⁴d¹ºp⁶
Now number s-orbital according above process.
1s² 2s²
p⁶3s² p⁶4s²
d¹ºp⁶5s² d¹ºp⁶6s²
f¹⁴d¹ºp⁶
Now number p-orbital according to above process.
s² s²
2p⁶s² 3p⁶s²
d¹º4p⁶s² d¹º5p⁶s²
f¹⁴d¹º6p⁶
Now number d-orbital according to above process.
s² s²
p⁶s² p⁶s²
3d¹ºp⁶s² 4d¹ºp⁶s²
f¹⁴5d¹ºp⁶
Now similarly number the f-orbital.....
s² s²
p⁶s² p⁶s²
3d¹ºp⁶s² 4d¹ºp⁶s²
4f¹⁴5d¹ºp⁶
In a line---(for all)
1s² 2s² 2p⁶3s² 3p⁶4s² 3d¹º4p⁶5s² 4d¹º5p⁶6s²4 f¹⁴5d¹º6p⁶
So the electronic configuration of Rn (Radon) is given below:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶3s² 3p⁶4s² 3d¹º4p⁶5s² 4d¹º5p⁶6s² 4f¹⁴5d¹º6p⁶
1s² 2s² 2p⁶3s² 3p⁶4s² 3d¹º4p⁶5s² 4d¹º5p⁶6s² 4f¹⁴5d¹º6p⁶
Finally,the above electronic configuration of Radon should be written according to value of n(low to high) as follows.
