Tennessine - 117Ts: properties of free atoms

Tennessine atoms have 117 electrons and the shell structure is  2.8.18.32.32.18.7.

The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral tennessine is  [Rn].5f14.6d10.7s2.7p5 (a guess based upon that of astatine) and the term symbol is  2P3/2 (a guess based upon guessed electronic structure).
