Question

Which would be the nobel gas preceding Tin?

Answer 1

Answer: The noble gas preceding tin is Krypton [Kr].

Explanation: Atomic Number of tin is 50 , Atomic Number of neon is 10, Atomic Number of argon is 18, Atomic Number of krypton is 36 and Atomic Number of xenon is 54.

Atomic number tells us the number of electrons present in the atom.

Thus the electronic configuration of tin according to increasing energy of orbitals is written as $[Kr]4d^105s^25p^2$.
