I am trying to draw electron configurations for multivalent electrons for Pb4+ and Pb2+.
The work I have:
(Xe)6s24f145d10 (PB2+)
(Xe)6s04f145d10 (PB4+)
the problem I'm having with multivalent structures is:
I have no idea which electrons to remove when there is an ionic charge
For instance, I don't know whether I should remove p orbital before s etc.
Can someone explain the concept for electron configurations for atoms in d-block
