Electron Configuration
What are the partial orbital diagrams of all the elements?
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):1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5Now we've got everything, so the complete electron configuration for iodine (I) is: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5Follow the aufbau chart for order of filling - 1s, 2s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p and so on.

What makes elements similar?
By elements being similar, I assume you mean elements of the same group being similar rather than all elements in general. Elements of the same group are similar in terms of chemical properties because they share a similar electron configuration. For instance group one of the periodic table, the alkali metals, has only one electron in its outermost unfilled orbital. Because chemical reactions are dependent on the exchange and sharing of electrons, the similarity of electron configuration in elements of a group results in them having similar properties. For instance, the alkali metals are all soft and extremely reactive.

Electron Configuration
What usually happens to the electron configuration of an atom when it forms?
The outer shell is involved in the bonding and it cannot really be described as an atomic outer shell any more. In the very simplest terms, Lewis model, electrons are shared with other atoms. In CH4 for example the carbon hydrogen bonds have 2 electrons each which could be considered to be 1 from the carbon and one from each hydrogen. Carbon then has 8 and hydrogen 2. There are two approaches that have a quantum mechanical slant. Valence bond theory is closest to chemists views on chemical bonds involving localised electron pairs, In VB theory hybrid atomic orbitals are postulated that optimise overlap of orbitals on the one atom with another. In methane the carbon is sp3 hybridised giving 4 tetrahedral lobes, which overlap nicely with the 1s orbitals on the hydrogens.
When atoms are forming chemical bonds they are trying to reach what configuration?
The octet rule is a simple rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electron configuration as a noble gas. The rule is applicable to the main-group elements. In simple terms, molecules or ions tend to be most stable when the outermost electron shells of their constituent atoms contain eight electrons.
Why do selenium and sulfur have similar chemical properties in terms of electron configuration?
This is because they both have the same amount of valence electrons look on thereferencetable periodic table of elements if your in chemistry.

Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy?
"Noble gas configuration" means that in writing out an electron configuration for an atom, rather than writing out the occupation of each and every orbital specifically, you instead lump all of the core electrons together and designate it with the symbol of the corresponding noble gas on the periodic table (in brackets). For example, the noble gas configuration of oxygen is [He]2s22p4

The octet rule indicates that?
In chemistry, the octet rule states that an atom has eight electrons in its outer shell. When all eight electron orbitals are filled, the atom is described as non-reactive. Examples include neon and argon.
How is dairy food high in calcium when there are no lumps of calcium metal?
For one thing calcium is highly reactive and does not occur naturally in it elemental form. The calcium in dairy products is in the form of calcium compounds, which contain the calcium ion, Ca2+. It is in this form the the body uses calcium anyway. Additionally, terms such as "high calcium" in dietary terms refer to what are actually relatively small amounts of a particular mineral or vitamin. A glass of milk only contains a few hundred milligrams of calcium.

Information about octet rule with respect to hydrogen?
The octet rule is a simple rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electron configuration as a noble gas. The rule is applicable to the main-group elements. In simple terms, molecules or ions tend to be most stable when the outermost electron shells of their constituent atoms contain eight electrons. Hydrogen as you know only has one electron, this electron sits in the S orbital which is represented in 3d as a sphere. These S orbitals can only hold 2 electrons at most. So to get a configuration of the next nobel gas(helium) the hydrogen must have 1 electron applied to it. To this end the Hydrogen may bond with another Hydrogen to provide a stable(ish) configuration of 2S(i.e. 2 electrons in the s orbital) or the hdrogen may bind to another element that need a single electron to get a stable octet, in this case hydrogen may bond with any of the nobel gases e.g.: HF HCl etc.... Hydrogen is not confined to just the halogens though, since it provides one electron it may bond to several different elements to give them a stable octet e.g: H2O, H2S, NH3, CH4, B2H6 But hydrogen will not try and form compounds like LiH7 as the energy of formation of these compounds is far too high and they are too unstable
