Detailed Solution

The atomic number 118 of an element will have the electronic configuration [Rn]5f146d107s27p6 It will be a noble gas element because the electronic arrangement of its outermost orbit (ns2np6) resembles that of inert or noble gases.
Note: Radon, an inert gas, has an atomic number of 86. The element with atomic number 118 is created when we give it 32 additional electrons. A maximum of 32 electrons can be permitted during seventh period. Therefore, the 118th-atomic-number element is a noble gas.
