Correct answer: D

  1. Find the atomic number from the electronic configuration

Given configuration: [Rn] 5f146d17s2[Rn] \, 5f^{14} 6d^1 7s^2[Rn]5f146d17s2

Radon has atomic number: Z=86Z = 86Z=86

Electrons beyond radon:

  • 5f145f^{14}5f14 contributes 141414
  • 6d16d^16d1 contributes 111
  • 7s27s^27s2 contributes 222

So total atomic number is: Z=86+14+1+2=103Z = 86 + 14 + 1 + 2 = 103Z=86+14+1+2=103

  1. Write the temporary IUPAC systematic name for Z=103Z=103Z=103

The old systematic digit roots are:

  • 1→1 \to1→ un
  • 0→0 \to0→ nil
  • 3→3 \to3→ tri

For 103103103, combine the roots in order: 1  0  3⇒un-nil-tri-ium1\;0\;3 \Rightarrow \text{un-nil-tri-ium}103⇒un-nil-tri-ium

So the name is: Unniltrium\boxed{\text{Unniltrium}}Unniltrium​

  1. Match with the options
  • A: Unnilbium →102\to 102→102 (wrong)
  • B: Unnilunium →101\to 101→101 (wrong)
  • C: Unnilquadium →104\to 104→104 (wrong)
  • D: Unniltrium →103\to 103→103 (correct)

Therefore, the correct option is: D\boxed{D}D​
