Protactinium electron configuration

Pa (Protactinium) is an element with position number 91 in the periodic table. Located in the VII period. Melting point: 1554 ℃. Density: 15.37 g/cm3.
The order of filling the orbitals with electrons in the Pa atom is an exception to the rule.
Expected electronic configuration
