Use the periodic table to write electron configurations for each of the following elements. (Type your answer using the format [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p2 for [Ar]4s23d104p2.)
1. Pd
thanks
i tried [Kr]5s24d8 but it didn't work

oh i got it:) thanks:):)
To write the electron configuration for an element using the periodic table, you need to understand the order in which electrons fill the different energy levels and orbitals.
First, locate the element Pd - Palladium - on the periodic table. Palladium is in the d-block (transition metals) and has an atomic number of 46.
The electron configuration is written by indicating the energy level and the number of electrons in each level and orbital.
For Palladium (Pd), we can determine the electron configuration as follows:
1. Fill the 1s orbital: 1s²
2. Fill the 2s orbital: 2s²
3. Fill the 2p orbital: 2p⁶
4. Fill the 3s orbital: 3s²
5. Fill the 3p orbital: 3p⁶
6. Fill the 4s orbital: 4s²
7. Fill the 3d orbital: 3d¹⁰
8. Fill the 4p orbital: 4p²
Combining these electron configurations, we get the final electron configuration for Palladium (Pd):
[Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p²
So, the electron configuration for Palladium (Pd) is [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².
