The abbreviated electron configuration for osmium (Os, Z=76) is [Xe]4f145d66s². Which option best conveys the predictions made by the atomic orbital diagram for osmium? When osmium ionizes, it will first form Os²+ and Os³+ When osmium ionizes, it will form Os2* only Osmium will gain 4 electrons to fill the 5d subshell forming Os Osmium will lose 6 electrons from the 5d subshell and form Os6+
