Give the ground state electron configuration for Pb.

Understand the Problem

The question asks for the electron configuration of lead (Pb) in its ground state, which refers to the distribution of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom at its lowest energy state.

Answer

[Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p2

The final answer is [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p2.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p2.

More Information

The electron configuration describes the distribution of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom. For Lead (Pb), the ground-state configuration indicates its electrons are distributed across various orbitals with the deepest being the 6p orbital.
