The noble gas Radon (Rn) has the electronic configuration [Xe] 4f^14 5d^10 6s^2 6p^6, where [Xe] represents the electron configuration of the noble gas xenon (Xe) that comes before radon in the periodic table. The brackets indicate that the inner electron shells are the same as xenon's, and the outermost electron configuration for radon is 6s^2 6p^6. This configuration means that radon has a total of 86 electrons in its atomic structure.
