Which one(s) is/are NOT the correct way to write the electron configuration for mercury (Hg)? FYI the "A" in the answer is for a superscript or it should be 4f4 will be written as 4f^14. I can't write the superscripts in the answers like I can in the questions. HINT: The order of the orbitals is important or in other words, if things are out of order then it's wrong!!!
