What is the electronic configuration of lead?

Answer 1

The element lead (atomic number 82) has the electron configuration

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p2

or simplified in the noble gas form as [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2

Answer 2

The electronic configuration of lead (Pb) is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2, which means lead has two electrons in the 6p orbital, two electrons in the 6s orbital, ten electrons in the 5d orbital, and fourteen electrons in the 4f orbital, with the noble gas core of xenon.
