The mercury (Hg) has 80 electrons. The electrons are distributed in the s, p, d and f orbitals. The electronic configuration of Hg can be shown as-. We can see that there are two filled d-orbitals 3d and 4d. There is only one filled f orbital which is 4f. The electron cloud of the s, p, d and f are different due to their different screening and penetration effect towards the nucleus. The electron cloud of f-orbital is most diffuse than the other three. The outermost electrons of mercury is , which is its valence electrons i.e. (+2).

Explanation:
From the given table, we can simply complete the given table by identifying the meaning of each column header.
- Number of protons in an atom is the number of positively charged particles in the nucleus of the atom. Protons are positively charged particles in an atom.
- The number of neutrons are the number of neutrally charged particles occupying the nucleus of an atom.
- Atomic number is another term for the number of protons in an atom.
- Mass number is the sum of protons and neutron in an atom.
- The symbol of an element is used represent a particular atom.
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons in atoms.
