Question

question 57 of 65
write the condensed (noble - gas) electron configuration of hg.
for multi - digit superscripts or coefficients, use each number in succession.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the noble gas before Hg

The noble gas before Hg (mercury, atomic number 80) is Xe (xenon, atomic number 54).

Step2: Write the electron configuration after Xe

After Xe, we have \(6s^{2}4f^{14}5d^{10}\).

Answer:

\([Xe]6s^{2}4f^{14}5d^{10}\)
