Research Elements Rn · atomic number 86 Noble gas · period 6, group 18 [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p6 Shells: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 8 Valence electrons: 8 in the outer shell (6s2 6p6) Green dots are the outer shell's s and p electrons. Softer green dots are the d electrons of transition metals, and the d and f electrons of lanthanides and actinides: they often take part in bonding, but not always. Grey dots are the core. Ground-state configuration from the NIST Atomic Spectra Database (A. Kramida, Yu. Ralchenko, J. Reader and the NIST ASD Team).
