Iodine is the fourth halogen, being a member of group 17 in the periodic table, below fluorine, chlorine, bromine; since astatine and tennessine are radioactive, iodine is the heaviest stable halogen. Iodine has an electron configuration of [Kr]5s 2 4d 10 5p 5, with the seven electrons in the fifth and outermost shell being its valence electrons.
Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms. Electron configurations of elements beyond hassium (element 108) have never been measured; predictions are used below.
Configurations of elements 109 and above are not available. Predictions from reliable sources have been used for these elements. Grayed out electron numbers indicate subshells filled to their maximum. Bracketed noble gas symbols on the left represent inner configurations that are the same in each period. Written out, these are: He, 2, helium : 1s 2
To do this, the nearest noble gas that precedes the element in question is written first, and then the electron configuration is continued from that point forward. For example, the electron notation of phosphorus is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 3 , while the noble gas notation is [Ne] 3s 2 3p 3 .

Noble gas configuration is the electron configuration of noble gases. The basis of all chemical reactions is the tendency of chemical elements to acquire stability . Main-group atoms generally obey the octet rule , while transition metals generally obey the 18-electron rule .
As the electron cloud of the iodine nears the aluminum atom, the negative charge of the electron cloud "cancels" out the positive charge of the aluminum cation. This produces an ionic bond with covalent character. A cation having inert gas like configuration has less polarizing power in comparison to cation having pseudo-inert gas like ...
The following table shows the electron configuration of a neutral gas-phase atom of each element. Different configurations can be favoured in different chemical environments. [ 52 ] The main-group elements have entirely regular electron configurations; the transition and inner transition elements show twenty irregularities due to the ...
