The electronic configuration of Einsteinium is : (Given atomic number of Einsteinium )
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Identify the core configuration
Einsteinium has atomic number .
The noble gas core just before the actinide series is radon, , which accounts for electrons.
So, electrons beyond radon:
- Actinide filling pattern
In the actinide series, electrons are filled mainly into the subshell, with already having electrons.
So after , the general pattern is:
Since uses electrons, the remaining electrons in are:
Thus the configuration becomes:
- Match with the options
-
A:
Total beyond electrons ❌ -
B:
Total beyond electrons ❌ -
C:
Total beyond electrons ✅ -
D:
Total beyond electrons ❌
- Final answer
The correct electronic configuration of Einsteinium is:
So, the correct option is C.
