Electronic Structure and Periodic Trends: Electron Configuration!


       
We learned about how to make and read electron configurations. The first number tells you the principal energy level, the letter that comes after tells you the sublevel, and the superscript tells the number of electrons. For example, 1S² is Helium.  If you need more help, you can click here! You can also make orbital level diagrams using this information. These can be useful to see if any of the 3 rules are being broken.
