Electron configuration of Po

Answer 1

Polonium is a Group 16 element in the p-block of the periodic table. It has a valence shell of 6s26p4, so it has six valence electrons like all of the elements of Group 16 (16-10=6 valence electrons). To write the Lewis dot diagram for polonium, write the symbol for polonium, Po. Then place one electron on each side of the symbol, then place another electron on two sides. You should have two electrons on two sides of the symbol, and one electron on two sides of the symbol. The total number of electrons should be six.

The Long Way:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4

The Short Way:

[Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4

Answer 3

The electron configuration of polonium is: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p4.
