However, the experiment has shown that the electron configuration of Palladium is: #""_46Pd: 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 4s^2, 3d^(10), 4p^6, 5s^(color(red)(0)), 4d^(color(green)(10)# . read more
So the full electron configuration for Palladium would start with: 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 10 4s 2 4p 6 Then you get to the critical point of deciding whether to fill it in as (4d 8, 5s 2) or (4d 10). read more
