Question

What is the electron configuration of palladium?

Answer 1

Electronic configuration: The arrangement of electrons into the orbitals of an atom using some fundamental principle is called its electronic configuration.

Electronic configuration of Palladium (Pd):

• Palladium is a d-block element having atomic number 46.
• The group number and period number of Palladium are 10 and 5 respectively.
• Therefore, the electronic configuration of $\mathrm{Pd}$ is $\left[\mathrm{Kr}\right]4{\mathrm{d}}^{10}$.
