2022: ☢️ Electron Configuration of Uranium (U) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ...

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

In the case of Uranium the abbreviated electron configuration is  [Rn] 5f3 6d1 7s2. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Uranium that most people don't know.
