Electron Configuration for Antimony
« on: September 25, 2008, 06:25:22 PM »
Just curious as to why Antimony's config is:

[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3

instead of [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p3 .. it seems to me the 5s2 and the 4d10 have been switched around.

Just wondering why the exception!
Thanks!!

hey

i don't know if this is an exception or not but does it matter how it is written? But i would write it in [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3 as electrons will be taken out from 5s first then 4d.
