Answer #1

Solution:

The excited state electronic configuration of Gold (Au) is represented as,

Au# (79)

= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p6 4f14 5d9 6s1 6p1

= [Xe] 4f14 5d9 6s1 6p1

In the ground state, Au contains 79 electrons. During excitation, an electron of highest energy orbital (5d) is promoted to 6p empty orbital.
