2022: ☢️ Electron Configuration of Iodine (I) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ...

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

In the case of Iodine the abbreviated electron configuration is  [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p5. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Iodine that most people don't know.
