The elements whose electron configurations end with f electrons are in the Lanthanide and Actinide series: those long series at the bottom of the Periodic Table (see image).
The atoms are adding electrons into f orbitals, but the f electrons are not always the last electrons in the electron configuration.
For example, the electron configuration of Eu is [Xe]6s²4f⁷, but that of Gd
is [Xe] 6s²4f⁷5d.
I have blocked off in <em>red</em> all the <em>exceptions</em> like Gd.
Answer:
energy that is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Explanation:
Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. It is a form of energy that can travel through space. For example, we receive the heat from the sun, which is located very far from the earth via radiation. The sun's heat is not transmitted through any solid medium, but through a vacuum.

Answer:
Electrons get farther from the nucleus.
Explanation:
By going from the top to the bottom of a group, the atomic number increases. That would mean that:
- The number of orbitals increases, as there are more electrons.
- A higher atomic number implies an increasing number of neutrons.
- As there are more electrons, they get farther from the nucleus. The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for the electron to be removed from the atom.
