Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Tungsten. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of W?
In the case of Tungsten the abbreviated electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d4 6s2. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Tungsten that most people don't know.
Learn more about the atomic number.
Learn more about the atomic mass.

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 Tungsten (W) [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.
