Pd has an
anomalous electron configuration. Write the observed electron configuration of
Pd.
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2
3d^10 4p^6 4d^10
The electron configuration
shown above is the original configuration of Pd. Here is the anomalous electron
configuration.
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10
4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 or (Kr) 4d^10
