Antimony Electrons per Shell (Sb) [& Color, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms have electrons that need to be distributed somehow, even Antimony. Ok so where are these electrons in an atom of Sb?

In the case of Antimony the number of electons per shell is 2,8,18,18,5. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Antimony that most don't know. Let me show you...
