  1. A \([\mathrm{Kr}] 5 \mathrm{~s}^1\)
  2. B \([\mathrm{Xe}] 6 \mathrm{~s}^1\)
  3. C \([\mathrm{Rn}] 7 \mathrm{~s}^1\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \([\mathrm{Xe}] 6 \mathrm{~s}^1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Caesium atomic number is 55. Thus, electron configuration of caesium is \(1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 4 s^2 3 d^{10} 4 p^6 5 s^2 4 d^{10} 5 p^6 6 s^1\) or [Xe] \(6 s^1\). Hence, correct option is (b).
