Why does the shorthand form for electron configuration convey?

∙ 13y ago
Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom. There are four blocks in the Periodic Table: S, P, D, F. Block S is groups 1 and 2. Block P is groups 13-18. Block D is groups 3-12. And block F is the lanthanides and actinides. There are several exceptions, for example He is considered part of S block even though it is over group 18. Here are some examples:
He - 1S2
Al - 1S22S22P1
Ni - 1S22S22P63S23P64D8
Shorthand form uses the noble gases (group 18). Whatever element you are using, go to the closest noble gas. For example:
Ca - [Ar] 4S2

Electron configuration of a flouride ion?
It has 2 electrons in the first shell, and 8 in the second as it gains an electron to form an ion so the configuration is 2,8.
Why is potassium electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 or Ar 4s1?
Ar is Argon and Ar 4s1 is the short form of the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2s6 3s2 3s6 4s1. It means add 4s1 to the electron configuration of Argon to get the electron configuration of potassium.
