Plutonium Electrons per Shell (Pu) [& Color, Discovery ... 2022

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

In the case of Plutonium the number of electons per shell is 2,8,18,32,24,8,2. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Plutonium that most don't know. Let me show you...
