Interpretation:
The group, period, metallic character, number of protons, name of the element and the electron dot symbol from the given electron configuration of an element should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The periodic table is shown in figure 1,
Figure 1
The Aufbau principle:
The aufbau principle is states that in the ground state of an atom, electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. For example, the 1s shell is filled before the 2s subshell is occupied.
The subshell ordering by this rule is
Number of electrons in the shells is given below,
Each shell contains only a fixed number of electrons. The first shell contains two electrons, the second shell contains eight

The most common one, 210Po, has 82 protons and 128 neutrons. When 210Po decays, it emits an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). 210Po decay is tricky to detect because alpha particles do not carry very much energy compared to other forms of radiation. They can be stopped by, for example, a sheet of paper or a few inches of air. This property is one reason why authorities failed to discover toxic amounts of 210Po in the body of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko until after he died suddenly and mysteriously in 2006. What element does an atom of 210Po decay into after it emits an alpha particle?arrow_forward
