The ground-state electron configuration of "Pb"Pb is:

["Xe"]"4f"^(14)"5d"^(10)"6s"^2"6p"^2[Xe]4f145d106s26p2

Explanation:

Lead ("Pb")(Pb) has atomic number 8282. This means that all atoms of lead have 8282 protons in their nuclei. In a neutral lead atom, there will also be 8282 electrons in the electron cloud. The ground-state electron configuration of "Pb"Pb is:

["Xe"]"4f"^(14)"5d"^(10)"6s"^2"6p"^2[Xe]4f145d106s26p2
