Number of completely filled orbitals in xenon atom $(\mathrm{Xe})$ is

  • A
    17
  • B
    18
  • Correct answer
    C
    27
  • D
    28

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'.
