Francium Electrons per Shell (Fr) [& Color, Discovery ... 2022

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

In the case of Francium the number of electons per shell is 2,8,18,32,18,8,1. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Francium that most don't know. Let me show you...
