when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD

The element with this electron configuration is tin (Sn), which has an atomic number of 50. The electron configuration provided corresponds to the electron distribution in its various electron orbitals.
You can tell if an atom has the same valence as carbon by looking at its outermost electron configuration. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, so any atom with 4 electrons in its outer shell, like silicon, would have the same valence as carbon.
Mostly they are s or p electron sub-orbitals in the same (outer) shell. In the transition metals sometimes one electron from a higher d orbital gets involved ( e.g. to reach the oxidation states Fe2+ and Fe3+).

The oxidation number of an atom indicates the number of electrons it has gained, lost, or shared to reach a stable configuration. It provides information on an atom's electron distribution and helps predict its reactivity in chemical reactions.
Electron
Electron configuration tells you how electrons are arranged in an atom's energy levels. It provides information on the number of electrons in each energy level and helps predict an element's chemical properties and reactivity. By understanding electron configuration, you can determine an element's potential to form bonds with other elements.
It is an anion.
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
Valence refers to the number of electrons an atom can either gain, lose, or share in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. It helps determine how an atom can combine with other atoms to form chemical bonds.
It tells when an atom is in a bonded pair that it holds the shared pair of electrons closer

Quantum numbers provide information about the energy, position, and spin of an electron in an atom. They help us understand the arrangement of electrons in different orbitals and predict their behavior within the atom.
