How are electron configurations related to the periodic table?

Answer 1

Electron configuration is the arrangement of elements according to their increasing atomic numbers whiles period is the arrangement of elements according to the increasing number of valence electrons.

Answer 2

The period of an element can be determined from the element's electron configuration.

For example, arsenic, As, has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d104s24p3.

The 4 in 4p3 indicates that arsenic's highest occuppied energy level is the fourth energy level.

Arsenic is therefore in the fourth period on the periodic table.

Basically what ever has the highest number is in the electron configuration,

1

2

3

4, etc., is what row the element is in. So that would be it's relationship.

Answer 3

electron configuration is the arrangement of elements according to their increasing atomic numbers whiles period is the arrangement of elements according to the increasing number of valence electrons.

Answer 4

The period number of an element in the Periodic Table is the number of the highest electron shell that is occupied in the ground state of the element, and the column number, if the number has only one digit, or the last digit of the column number, if the number has two digits, is the number of valence electrons in the element, except for columns 8, 9, and 10. (For the elements in columns 3 through 11, the nominal number of valence electrons may or may not correspond to the most usual number of electrons donated, accepted, or shared in bond formation by an atom of the element.)

Answer 5

The elements in the same period (row) of the periodic table all have their outermost electrons in the same energy level as indicated by the period number. Those elements in the same group (column) all have the same number valence electrons.
