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

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.

How do you write the shorthand electron configuration for rubidium?

[Kr] 5s(1)or, in the longer version1s(2) 2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2) 3p(6) 4s(2) 3d(10) 4p(6) 5s(1)Note: All the numbers in the parentheses are supposed to be in superscript (not sure how to do it) and they represent the number of electrons in the sublevel. The first configuration uses the noble gas Krypton (basically an abbreviated form of electron configuration). Both configurations are according to the Aufbau principle (lower energy levels are filled in first). So, if you're confused when you see, for example, 4s before 3d, this is just according to the principle.


What is the electron configuration of cesium in noble gas form?

The electron configuration of cesium in noble gas form would be [Xe] 6s^1. This indicates that cesium has the same electron configuration as the noble gas xenon in addition to one extra electron in the 6s orbital.
