Question 7 • Chemistry

Which of these symbols would be included in the noble gas notation for an element that had valence electrons in the 5 s subshell?

Answer
A
Xe
B
Ar
C
Rn
D
Kr

Explanation

The 5s subshell is filled after the 4p subshell, which completes the electron configuration of krypton. So an element with valence electrons in 5s uses [Kr] as its noble-gas core; the correct choice is Kr.
