Write the electronic configuration for Pd

1 answer

The electronic configuration for palladium (Pd), which has an atomic number of 46, is:

\[ \text{[Kr]} , 4d^{10} \]

This configuration shows that palladium has a complete set of electrons in the 4d subshell. The preceding noble gas, krypton (Kr), accounts for the first 36 electrons, and the remaining 10 electrons fill the 4d subshell.
