Radon is a Noble Gas found in the 6th energy level (row) of the periodic table. Noble Gases, re in the 18th column, Group VIIIA.
This means Radon will end in a electron configuration of
The Noble Gas (core) notation for Radon is
The valence level, (highest energy level s and p orbitals) is
Radon has eight valence electrons. Like all Noble Gases, Radon is considered stable with a complete octet of electrons, filling the s and p orbitals.
I hope this was helpful.
