  2. B 18
  3. C 27
  4. D 28
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 27

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electronic configuration of xenon having atomic number 54 is given as: \[ { }_{54} \mathrm{Xe}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^{10}, 4 s^2 4 p^6 4 d^{10}, 5 s^2 5 p^6 \] Thus, the number of completely filled orbital in xenon atom \((\mathrm{Xe})\) is 27.
