[Xe] 4f⁴ 6s²
Here's a breakdown:
* [Xe] represents the electron configuration of Xenon, which is the noble gas preceding Neodymium. This is a shorthand notation to avoid writing out all the filled orbitals.
* 4f⁴ indicates that there are four electrons in the 4f subshell.
* 6s² indicates that there are two electrons in the 6s subshell.
Important note: This is the ground state electron configuration. There are also excited state configurations possible.
