Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the layout of the periodic table: groups are the vertical columns numbered from 1 to 18, and periods are the horizontal rows numbered from 1 to 7.
Identify group 10, which is the 10th column from the left in the periodic table. Elements in this group share similar chemical properties.
Identify period 6, which is the 6th row from the top in the periodic table. Elements in this period have electrons filling the sixth energy level.
Locate the element that lies at the intersection of group 10 and period 6. This element will have the properties of group 10 and the electron configuration corresponding to period 6.
Recall or consult the periodic table to find that the element in group 10 and period 6 is Platinum (Pt), not Nickel (Ni), Palladium (Pd), or Gold (Au).
