Electron configuration deals with the electrons present in an element, to find out the electron on each element it is the same as their element number.
The electron configuration follows a pattern. 1s2 2p2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10
4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2.
each orbital corresponds to a sublevel. a sublevel is a number at the last part of "1s2 <------" which is 2.
s= 2
p=6
d=10
f=14
These describes how much electron it can only hold. it can be less than the sublevel but not more than it.
EX: P (phosphorus) (element # 15)
ELECTRON CONFIG:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 = P (phosphorus) #15
if you add all the last numbers of each sublevel it would result to 15.

∙ 13y agoBecause every complete atom has a neutral electrical charge overall, the total amount of negative charge of all the electrons it contains must exactly balance the total amount of positive charge of all the protons it holds in its nucleus or kernel.
More detailed information
The atom of every chemical element is thought to have a central nucleus or kernel that is surrounded by a cloud of electrons.
Scientific experiments have shown that every proton has a single positive charge, every electron has a single negative charge and every neutron has no electrical charge at all.
Depending on the size of an element - called its "atomic number" - it is thought that its nucleus must contain one or more protons and zero or more neutrons AND the number of electrons an atom contains must always equal the number of protons held in its nucleus, so that the atom has a neutral electrical charge overall.

∙ 10y agoCurrently it appears that no one really knows.Scientists use science to model the atom and its properties ie particles quarks quantum. But it appears science is not aware of the new electron microscope scans of the atom, which show it to be a cone shaped field and not following science's established rules.

The arrangement of an atoms electrons is known as the atoms?
electron configuration :)
What is the electron configuration for aluminum foil?
The electron configuration for aluminum atoms, which is 1s22s22p63s23p1.
What do the Group IA atoms have to do to become a noble gas configuration?
They have one valence electron. If this electron is lost, the atoms form cations with the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.
State the importance of the noble-gas electron configuration in the formation of ions?
Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change.The atoms of an element will react to achieve a noble-gas configuration. The atoms will either gain or lose electrons to achieve such a configuration.
What is the electron configuration using noble-gas notation of calcium?
No Such ... all atoms have an electron configuration, yet Ca++ is not a noble gas.

What is electron configuration of H2SO4?
We use electron configuration for atoms or ions. You can't use it for compounds.
What electron configuration do atoms acheieve by sharing electrons form covalent bonds?
They achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.
What do the Group IA atoms have to do to become a noble gas configuration?
They have one valence electron. If this electron is lost, the atoms form cations with the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.
Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve?
A stable electron configuration.

What does oxygen need to do in order to to achieve a stable electron configuration?
Oxygen atoms need to share or gain two electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is the electron configuration of boron?
The atoms of the element boron (atomic number 5) have the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p1 *or noble-gas form [He] 2s2 2p1
What is the electron configuration using noble-gas notation of calcium?
No Such ... all atoms have an electron configuration, yet Ca++ is not a noble gas.
What is is the reason that atoms bond with other atoms?
To gain electronic stability (i.e. stability with respect to their electron configuration)
How does potassium and fluorine atoms change their electron configuration to obain a noble gas structure?
Potassium must lose one electron (to have the same configuration as the noble gas argon), and fluorine must gain one electron (to have the same configuration as neon)
