[edit] Information Sources

Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Lawrencium. Additional text was taken directly from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table were obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but were reformatted and converted into SI units.

Why did the symbol change from Lw to Lr in '63?

[edit] Electron configuration typo?

Shouldn't the electron configuration for Lawrencium be [Rn]5f¹⁴ 6d¹ 7s²? I'm not a chemist (just studying it en route to an engineering degree), but that is how it is shown on other chemistry sites.--H-ko 04:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Reference is electron configurations of the elements (data page). They're all more or less educated guesses, I guess. NIST's data seems the most recent and reliable. Femto 10:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information; I suppose the differences are due to the uncertainty.--H-ko 09:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
