Question
Scientists have speculated that element 126 might have a moderate stability allowing it to be synthesized and characterized. Predict what the condensed electron configuration of this element might be. Express your answer in condensed form in order of increasing orbtial energy as a string wihtout blank space between orbitals. For example, [He]2s^22p^2 should be entered
-------------------------------------------
I have tried
[126]8s^25g^6 (wrong)
and [126]5g^68s^2 (wrong)
(I figured it out) [118] 8s^25g^6
Explanation / Answer
[118] 8s^25g^6 is correct according to n+l rule.
