Q2 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2018 (24 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry
Number of completely filled orbitals in xenon atom $(\mathrm{Xe})$ is
- A17
- B18
- Correct answerC27
- D28
Solution
The electronic configuration of xenon having atomic number 54 is given as:
$$
{ }_{54} \mathrm{Xe}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^{10}, 4 s^2 4 p^6 4 d^{10}, 5 s^2 5 p^6
$$
Thus, the number of completely filled orbital in xenon atom $(\mathrm{Xe})$ is 27.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
