Electron Configuration
What is Electron Configuration? The arrangement of electrons in an atom
What do I need? Energy Level (1-7) Orbital (s,p,d,f) How many electrons 1 s 2
Energy Levels 1st energy level: 2 2nd energy level: 8 3rd energy level: 18 4th energy level: 32
Orbitals Orbital: three-dimensional space around the nucleus that is the probable location of an electron s holds a max of 2 p holds a max of 6 d holds a max of 10 f holds a max of 14
