^ means the number next to it is superscript
so the electron config. for lead is:
1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 4s^2, 3d^10, 4p^6, 5s^2, 4d^10, 5p^6, 6s^2, 4f^14, 5d^10, 6p^2
then just re-group the numbers together, for example, if the numbers are set this way:
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d
make sure to put the 3d in the 4s place
TA-dah!
Solutions are mixtures of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. They do not have electron configurations. Only atoms and ions have electron configurations.
All of the representative elements (s and p block) have predictable electron configurations. However, many of the transition elements have electron configurations that are not predicted by the rules for determining electron configuration.
Group 18
any time there are as many electrons and protons and they fill each orbital optimally.
The externall shell of electrons is completely filled.
The electron configuration of strontium is 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s2.
halogens
The elements with the electron configurations that end in ns 2 and np 5 are halogens, group VII A elements.
The elements with the electron configurations that end in ns 2 and np 5 are halogens, group VII A elements.
group 13 or IIIA
Each neutral atom has a specific electron cofiguration.
Cobalt electron configuration is [Ar]3d7.4s2.Nitrogen electron configuration is [He]2s2.2p3.
