Some patterns of electron configuration are listed below. In each case, [G] stands for a noble-gas core and n, m, or o stand for integer numbers like 1, 2, 3 and so on. Note: assume G is lighter than Rn. Think about the chemical elements made of atoms with an electron configuration that matches each pattern.

In Universe L, recently discovered by an intrepid team of chemists who also happen to have studied interdimensional travel, quantum mechanics works just as it does in our universe, except that there are four d orbitals instead of the usual number we observe here. Use these facts to write the ground-state electron configurations of the seventh and eighth elements in the first transition series in Universe L. Note: you may use [X] to stand for the electron configuration of the noble gas at the end of the row before the first transition series. seventh transition metal: eighth transition metal:
