question 18 (1 point)
what element is represented by the following electron configuration: xe6s²5d¹⁰4f¹⁴6p¹
only write the name of the element and watch your spelling!

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the atomic number of Xe

Xe (Xenon) has an atomic number of 54.

Step2: Calculate the number of additional electrons

We have 2 electrons in 6s, 10 in 5d, 14 in 4f and 1 in 6p. So, \(2 + 10+14 + 1=27\).

Step3: Find the atomic number of the element

Add the number of electrons in Xe to the additional electrons: \(54+27 = 81\).

Step4: Identify the element

The element with atomic number 81 is Thallium.

Answer:

Thallium
