Atoms have electrons that need to be distributed somehow, even Tantalum. Ok so where are these electrons in an atom of Ta?
In the case of Tantalum the number of electons per shell is 2,8,18,32,11,2. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Tantalum that most don't know. Let me show you...

Uses
Often used as an economical substitute for platinum. Tantalum pentoxide is used in capacitors and in camera lenses to increase refracting power. It and its alloys are corrosion and wear resistant so it is used to make surgical and dental tools.Name Origin
From king Tantalus of Greek mythology, father of Niobe.State at 20 °C
