The electron configuration of a neutral rhodium (Rh) atom is [Kr] 4d^8 5s^1.

Here's a breakdown of the electron configuration:

The noble gas configuration of krypton (Kr) is [Kr] = 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6.
Rhodium (Rh) has 45 electrons, so you add electrons to the krypton configuration: 4d^8 represents the 8 electrons in the 4d orbital, and 5s^1 represents the one electron in the 5s orbital.
So, combining the two: [Kr] 4d^8 5s^1.
