See the Web Links to the left for a pdf file with a Periodic Table which shows the electronic configuration (in shorthand notation) for each element. You can also use the WebElements link and select each element to view its electronic configuration.
Shorthand notation marks the electron configuration starting with the noble gas element in the previous row. To write out the complete configuration, just write down the configuration for that noble gas in place of the name of the noble gas (you may have to do this several times if you are writing the configuration of an element towards the bottom of the periodic table -- just keep working backwards until you get to the first 1s orbital.
For example:
The shorthand configuration for iodine (I) is listed as: [Kr]5s24d105p5.
First, we must add on the configuration for krypton (Kr) in front:
[Ar]4s23d104p65s24d105p5.
But since Kr is given in terms of argon (Ar), we must keep going:
[Ne]3s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5.
And again for neon (Ne):
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5
Now we've got everything, so the complete electron configuration for iodine (I) is: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5
Follow the aufbau chart for order of filling - 1s, 2s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p and so on. The following link explains electron configuration and gives the configuation for elements 1 - 20:http://www.scribd.com/doc/10542/Electron-Configuration-Worksheet?from_email_04_friend_send=1

All elements in Group 1 on the periodic table have one electron in their outer orbital shell Caesium is an element in Group 1 of the period table Therefore caesium must have one electron in its out?
Cesium is in the 6th row of the periodic table. Therefore Cesium must have one electron in the 6s orbital.
Define periodicity as it relates to the organization of elements on the periodic table?
The relationship is that the elements are organized by periods. Each row is a period and it goes from left to right. Each row is a period identified by different colors. Elements on the same row have something in common. All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example all the elements on the 1st row have only one orbital for its electrons. All the elements on the 2nd period (row) have two orbitals for its electrons. This repeats to period (row) 7. - Brian Tui
What is the relationship between the size of an s orbital and the principal energy level in which it is found?
nothing at all, because the s orbital is a spherosophical orbital, while the principal energy level isn't.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
s orbitals are spherical, so there cannot be any angle 'between' an s orbital and a p orbital. However, each lobe of a p orbital is perpendicular (90 degrees in all directions) to the surface of an s orbital.
How many elements does the s orbital have?
Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
What do elements in periods have in common?
They all have a filled 1s orbital
What is the reason for group 1 elements colourless?
All their electrons are in one orbital.
Does plutonium have a electron dot diagram?
Yes of course, electron dot diagrams can be drawn for all elements.
Which of the these elements would NOT have electrons in the d orbital?
H, He, Li, Be, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, etc to Ca. After Ca all have electrons in a d orbital.
What do the rows in the period table tell you?
The columns in this table indicate that the elements in a particular row are all part of a family of elements sharing certain similarities. The horizontal rows denote the orbital letter (the highest one) in which all elements have in common.
Which elements have 2 electrons in their s sublevel?
If you're talking about any s sublevel at all, then any element except hydrogen would fit that. If you're talking specifically about elements that have the s orbital as their valence (outermost) orbital, and also have that valence s orbital filled with 2 electrons, then helium and anything in the second column of the periodic table will all fit that description. (He, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra)
Sodium and potassium show similar reactivity towards water What property do these elements possess in common?
They each have one valence electron in the outermost shell (or "orbital"). All the elements in Group 1 have this trait.
What chemical property is common to the elements in group 18 on the periodic table?
All elements in Group 18 are classified as Noble Gases. As such, their outermost shell (or "orbital") is full of electrons making them highly stable. Only a handful of elements are capable of stealing their electrons.

Where can you get diagrams for a Cadillac 1969?
It is important to have diagrams of all the parts and systems in a car. Diagrams for a Cadillac can be found in the maintenance, owners and repair manuals.
What does orbital exenteration refer to?
Orbital exenteration refers to the removal of the entire eyeball, orbital soft tissues, and some or all of the eyelids.
