Electron Configuration
-is the way which electrons are
arranged in the electron shells of
the atom. Electrons always fill
the electrons shells with lower
energy first.
Guidelines on how to make the Electron Configuration
of Element
1. Find the atom’s atomic number. Atomic
number corresponds to the elements
number of electrons.
Guidelines on how to make the Electron Configuration
of Element

2. Familiarize the number of electrons that


an orbital can hold. As an atom gains
electron, they fill different orbitals sets
according to a specific order.

of Element

3. Memorize the order of the orbitals. Note


that orbital sets are numbered by electron
shell, but ordered in terms of energy The
order for filling orbitals is as follows:

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p, 8s.

4.Fill in the orbitals


4.Fill in the orbitals according according to
to the number of electrons in your the
atom. number
of electrons in your atom.
