2022: ☢️ Electron Configuration of Dysprosium (Dy) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ...

Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Dysprosium. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of Dy?

In the case of Dysprosium the abbreviated electron configuration is  [Xe] 4f10 6s2. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Dysprosium that most people don't know.

Dysprosium Overview

Dysprosium Complete Electron Configuration

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Electron Configuration of Dysprosium (Dy) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
