Final answer:

The electron configuration 'Kr|5s²4dⁱ105p°' is incorrect and does not correspond to any known element, as the 5p orbital can contain a maximum of six electrons, not ten.

Step-by-step explanation:

The element with the noble gas electron configuration of Kr|5s²4dⁱ105p° is not expressed in a conventional manner and appears to be incorrect as given. Typically, the notation should follow the pattern of the noble gas symbol, followed by the remaining electron configuration. For example, '[Kr]5s²4dⁱ10' would signify an element after krypton, with its additional electrons in the 5s and 4d orbitals.

Assuming the configuration is intended to mean '[Kr]5s²4dⁱ05p°', this does not correspond with any known element, as the 5p orbital cannot have ten electrons, being limited to a maximum of six. The correct electron configurations for elements can be used to identify them in the periodic table.
