[Kr]5s25d 105p1
D. ?
[Kr]5524f1450 105p1

The noble-gas notation for the element indium is [Kr} 4d¹⁰5s²5p¹. The correct option is B.  [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p1

From the question,

We are to write the electron configuration of the element Indium, using the appropriate noble gas notation.

The noble gas that comes before Indium (In) is Krypton (Kr). Therefore, the noble gas that will be used in the notation is Krypton.

Indium has an atomic number of 49 while Krypton has an atomic number of 36. This means we will fill in 13 more electrons.

The electron configuration for the element indium using the noble-gas notation is

[Kr} 4d¹⁰5s²5p¹

Hence, the noble-gas notation for the element indium is [Kr} 4d¹⁰5s²5p¹. The correct option is B.  [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p1

Explanation:

The element Indium with atomic number 49 will have 49 protons and 49 electrons in it.

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom. The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and the nearest noble gas is Krypton with 36 electrons.

The electronic configuration in terms of noble gas configuration is:
