Question

10. What is the correct electron configuration for Au?

Answer 1

`^(79)Au=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^(10)4p^65s^24d^(10)5p^66s^24f^(14)5d^9`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the correct electronic configuration for Au

The element gold has 79 electrons

We have the configuration as follows:

`^(79)Au=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^(10)4p^65s^24d^(10)5p^66s^24f^(14)5d^9`
