Question 4 • Chemistry

Which is the electron configuration for nobelium No ?

Answer
A
Rn times 7 times s squared times 5 times 7th power of f
B
Ne times 3 times s squared times 3 times p to the 7th power
C
Rn times 7 times s squared times 5 times 14th power of f
D
Xe times 6 times s squared times 5 times d to the 1th power

Explanation

Nobelium has atomic number 102. Starting from radon, which accounts for 86 electrons, the remaining 16 electrons fill 7s² and 5f¹⁴. Therefore, the configuration is [Rn] 7s² 5f¹⁴, which is choice B.
