Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The electronic configuration of the element with atomic number 117 is
= [

R_{n}]_{86} 5 f^{14}, 6 d^{10}, 7 s^{2}, 7 p^{5}

This element contains 7 electrons in its outermost shell, so it belongs to VIIA (17) group of Periodic Table, i.e., it is a halogen. Its IUPAC symbol is Uus.
