This video tutorial explains how to write the electron configuration for xenon, a noble gas with an atomic number of 54. It covers two methods for determining electron configuration: using a chart or the periodic table. The video provides a detailed walkthrough of writing xenon's electron configuration, highlighting the significance of valence electrons and the noble gas's full outer shell. Additionally, it explains the condensed electron configuration using krypton as a reference.
