The behavior of electrons around a nucleus is explained by quantum mechanics. It is also described in complete detail by the Schrodinger Equation (which, however, is ridiculously difficult to solve).
Atoms of different elements are similar in that they all contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they are different in terms of their atomic number (number of protons), atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons), and electron configuration, which determines their chemical properties.
The shell pattern of electrons follows the principle that electrons occupy orbitals within energy levels or shells around the nucleus of an atom. These shells are labeled with the letters K, L, M, N, etc., with each shell containing subshells or orbitals that can hold a specific number of electrons based on their energy level and angular momentum.
The Bohr Rutherford diagram for magnesium would show 12 protons and 12 neutrons in the nucleus, with two electrons in the first energy level and eight electrons in the second energy level. The electrons are arranged in a specific pattern based on the energy levels and the maximum number of electrons each level can hold.
It uses repetition to demonstrate the pattern of the Axis attacks.
The region around the nucleus where electrons travel is called the electron cloud or electron orbital. This is the three-dimensional space where electrons are most likely to be found based on their energy levels within an atom. The electron cloud is described by quantum mechanics as a probability distribution rather than a definite path.
Electrons surround an atomic nucleus in a particular pattern which is described in terms of shells, each shell constituting a layer of electrons. That pattern is a configuration.
Jamie Craig's cool as! So's Craig :) lol
The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.Valence
That electrons can orbit their nucleus in only certain discrete orbits at certain specific levels of energy

It is true that an illustrative pattern explains something through the use of examples and/or definitions. In addition, an illustrative pattern also explains something through the use of comparison and/or contrast, with supporting detail.
A diagram of a typical carbon atom would show a nucleus comprised of 6 protons and 6 neutrons. It would also have two electrons in the first energy level, then 4 electrons in the second, or valence energy level (1s22s22p2.)
couse cookies are coolEDIT: Okay, that's pretty random and not at all helpful, try this:Atoms are made up of 3 different particles, called electrons, protons and neutrons.Electrons are very small, very light particles with a negative electrical charge, and Protons are much larger, much heavier particles with a positive electrical charge. Neutrons are large and heavy, like the protons, but have no electrical charge.Each atom is made up of a mixture of these particles. Protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus of the atom, whilst the electrons orbit around it, in clouds. The electrons are organised in layers, called orbitals. The first level is called the 1s orbital, and contains 2 electrons. The second and third levels are the 2s and 2p orbitals and each contain 2 electrons. The 4th level is the 3s orbital, then the next is 3p etc. Logically, at this point, the next orbital would be the 3d orbital, but this has a higher energy than the 4s, so the 4s fill first, then the 3d, then the pattern continues.Hope this helps,Freya x
A uniform pattern of rhythm in a poem :)

The elements are all organized according to atomic number from smallest to largest and placed in rows and columns based upon their size, number of electrons in the outer shell and common characteristics.
