Finding Grandma’s Element

2. Do Now: Write the orbital notations for Aluminum, Beryllium, and Gold.
Name all three rules one must follow when writing orbital notations.
HINTS: s = 1 orbital/sublevel (box), p = 3 orbitals/sublevel, d = 5 orbitals/sublevel, f = 7 orbitals/sublevel
Orbital Order:
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p
