it goes according to the principal quantum number, l.
the subshells (or energy levels) have corresponding letters...
0th sublevel: s
1st sublevel: p

3rd sublevel: f
4th: g
5th: h
6th: i
etc.
usually, we dont use energy levels above the f subshell.
because level 5 starts below the start of 4d

The subshell blocks that make up the Periodic Table are s, p, d and f. The subshell block that begins to fill after 4s2 is 3d.

The electrons fill each of the five orbitals, so there is 1 electron in each of the five orbitals. Then the 6th electron would pair its spin with the first orbital, the 7th would pair its spin with the 2nd orbital, etc.
You can calculate the total capacity of an electron shell using the formula 2n2,... electron shell, it would need 10 electrons: 2 to fill the 1st shell and 8 to fill the2nd. ... In other words, in an atom with 20 electrons (which is the element calcium
The 4s orbital falls in a slightly lower energy level than the 3d orbital when it is empty so it will fill with electrons first, but when it is full of electrons it rises to be above the 3d one so that it will lose electrons first as well.
Simply for convenience. Were it included in the rest of the table those elements would fit between the transition ans alkaline-earth metals, and make the table too wide to be easily displayed on most pages.:-))))
1s2 2s2 2p1 is the electron configuration for boron, and it has a total of 5 electron. Just fill the orbital up with the elements total number of electrons until no more are left, then u have your electron configuration
Two electrons are needed to fill the outer shell of a sodium atom. The outer shell for sodium is the 3s sublevel. A neutral sodium atom has one electron in its 3s sublevel. Since atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to gain a noble gas electron configuration, called an octet, sodium atoms will lose their single 3s electron, becoming sodium atoms with a 1+ charge. By doing this, sodium ions become isoelectric with the noble gas neon, and achieve an octet, becoming stable.
Electrons occupy orbitals in a definite sequence, filling orbitals with lower energies first. Generally, orbitals in a lower energy level have lower energies than those in a higher energy level. But, in the third level the energy ranges of the principal energy levels begin to overlap. As a result, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel, so it fills first.
The electron configuration is an abbreviated version of the orbital notation. The orbital notation shows exactly where every electron is placed around the nucleus of the atom --> more specifically, what orbital and sublevel each electron is in and what the spin of the electron in an orbital is. Remember the s sublevel only has 1 orbital and can hold 2 electrons with opposite spins. the p sublevel has 3 orbitals each holding 2 electrons with a total of 6 electrons in the p sublevel. the d sublevel has 5 orbitals each holding 2 electrons with a total of 10 electrons in the d sublevel. the f sublevel has 7 orbitals each holding 2 electrons with a total of 14 electrons in the f sublevel. n is the principal energy level (there are 7 maximum for a ground state electron) l is the sublevel (there are 4 maximum for a ground state electron) n l 1 1s2 2 2s2 2p6 3 3s2 3p6 3d10 4 4s2 4p6 4d10 4f14 5 5s2 5p6 5d10 5f14 6 6s2 6p6 6d10 7 7s2 7p6 Start with the first energy level, (the first row), and put a diagonal line through it then write it down: 1s2 Then go to the next energy level, (n = 2), and put a line through the 2s and write it down next to the 1s2: 1s2 2s2. Then finish the 2nd row by putting a line through the 2p and the 3s which is diagonally underneath it and write those down next to the 1s2 2s2: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. Continue doing this until you have the entire electron configuration. The order of electron configurations is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d104p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 7s2 5f14 6d10 7p6 The orbital diagrams have the same order but you will see each orbital in the s, p, d, and f sublevels: This is for Al, Si, P, and S. Notice that you still draw every orbital in a sublevel (look at 3p in Al), even if you don't fill up that sublevel. Also, notice Si: It has 2 electrons in the 3p. You don't pair them up in an orbital because there are only 2. You don't start pairing them up until you have 4, 5, or 6 electrons in the p sublevel.
The electrons fill each of the five orbitals, so there is 1 electron in each of the five orbitals. Then the 6th electron would pair its spin with the first orbital, the 7th would pair its spin with the 2nd orbital, etc.

The electronic configuration of atoms is based on the filling of orbitals. In the case of the 4s orbital, it is relatively lower in energy than the 3d orbital, so it is filled first. Therefore, the 4s orbital can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons. As for the 3d orbitals, they have a higher energy level and can accommodate a maximum of 10 electrons, but in the case of transition metals, only 5 electrons fill the 3d orbitals due to electron configuration stability.
The 4s orbital falls in a slightly lower energy level than the 3d orbital when it is empty so it will fill with electrons first, but when it is full of electrons it rises to be above the 3d one so that it will lose electrons first as well.
Anion. Cation is an ion that loses one or more electron.
The s, p, d, and f are sublevels within an electron energy level. Each sublevel can hold a specific maximum number of electrons based on their shapes and orientations. Electrons fill these sublevels based on the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule, which dictate the order and orientation in which electrons occupy the sublevels.
