Electronic configuration

The following represents the electronic configuration and its associated term symbol for the ground state neutral gaseous atom. The configuration associated with copernicium in its compounds is not necessarily the same.

• Ground state electron configuration:  [Rn].5f¹⁴.6d¹⁰.7s² (a guess based upon that of mercury)
• Shell structure:  2.8.18.32.32.18.2
• Term symbol:   ¹S₀ (a guess based upon guessed electronic structure)
