Helium is a little bit weird. It isn't. It is drawn in the P block, although it actually contributes to the S block. So it is the only exception to this block kind of idea on the periodic table. Now let's continue onwards.
If we look at number three, which is lithium, that is in the second period. So it has a principal quantum number two and again, it is also in the S block, so it has a ass orbital. Now again, we a count the number of electrons that are being contributed that is one and to still building our way up or not at our gun yet. So we move on to number five, which is also in the second period. So principal quantum number of two. But this time it's in the P block.
So it has a P orbital again. As before, ring threepeat, count the number electrons that are being contributed one to three for five and six. Still not our guns.
We have to keep going. It's a total of six. Now we're onto the third period. So that is three for the principal quantum number. We're back in the S block and we count one to moving on. Were a number of 13 aluminum again, number three, third period. And now this time we're in the P block. Everyone to count one more time, one to three for fine. And lastly, six. Now we're are gone. So we're done here and we don't need to count anymore. This is the electron configuration for are gone now in to determine which of these orbital's are completely filled and that will get us the answer to our question s orbital's can have a total of two electrons present to be a completely filled orbital, P can have a total of six electrons present to be a completely filled orbital.
Hence, potassium corresponds to Li and Na in its valence shell configuration. The next electron is added to complete the 4 s subshell and calcium has an electron configuration of [Ar]4 s 2. This gives calcium an outer-shell electron configuration corresponding to that of beryllium and magnesium. Beginning with the transition metal scandium atomic number 21 , additional electrons are added successively to the 3 d subshell.
The 4 p subshell fills next. Note that for three series of elements, scandium Sc through copper Cu , yttrium Y through silver Ag , and lutetium Lu through gold Au , a total of 10 d electrons are successively added to the n — 1 shell next to the n shell to bring that n — 1 shell from 8 to 18 electrons.
What is the electron configuration and orbital diagram for a phosphorus atom? What are the four quantum numbers for the last electron added? The atomic number of phosphorus is Thus, a phosphorus atom contains 15 electrons. The 15 electrons of the phosphorus atom will fill up to the 3 p orbital, which will contain three electrons:.
The last electron added is a 3 p electron. The three p orbitals are degenerate, so any of these m l values is correct. The periodic table can be a powerful tool in predicting the electron configuration of an element. For instance, the electron configurations of the transition metals chromium Cr; atomic number 24 and copper Cu; atomic number 29 , among others, are not those we would expect. In general, such exceptions involve subshells with very similar energy, and small effects can lead to changes in the order of filling.
In the case of Cr and Cu, we find that half-filled and completely filled subshells apparently represent conditions of preferred stability. This stability is such that an electron shifts from the 4 s into the 3 d orbital to gain the extra stability of a half-filled 3 d subshell in Cr or a filled 3 d subshell in Cu. Other exceptions also occur.
For example, niobium Nb, atomic number 41 is predicted to have the electron configuration [Kr]5 s 2 4 d 3. Experimentally, we observe that its ground-state electron configuration is actually [Kr]5 s 1 4 d 4. We can rationalize this observation by saying that the electron—electron repulsions experienced by pairing the electrons in the 5 s orbital are larger than the gap in energy between the 5 s and 4 d orbitals. There is no simple method to predict the exceptions for atoms where the magnitude of the repulsions between electrons is greater than the small differences in energy between subshells.
As described earlier, the periodic table arranges atoms based on increasing atomic number so that elements with the same chemical properties recur periodically. Because they are in the outer shells of an atom, valence electrons play the most important role in chemical reactions.
The outer electrons have the highest energy of the electrons in an atom and are more easily lost or shared than the core electrons. Valence electrons are also the determining factor in some physical properties of the elements. Elements in any one group or column have the same number of valence electrons; the alkali metals lithium and sodium each have only one valence electron, the alkaline earth metals beryllium and magnesium each have two, and the halogens fluorine and chlorine each have seven valence electrons.
The similarity in chemical properties among elements of the same group occurs because they have the same number of valence electrons.
It is the loss, gain, or sharing of valence electrons that defines how elements react. It is important to remember that the periodic table was developed on the basis of the chemical behavior of the elements, well before any idea of their atomic structure was available.
Now we can understand why the periodic table has the arrangement it has—the arrangement puts elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons in the same group. These classifications determine which orbitals are counted in the valence shell , or highest energy level orbitals of an atom. Lanthanum and actinium, because of their similarities to the other members of the series, are included and used to name the series, even though they are transition metals with no f electrons.
We have seen that ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. A cation positively charged ion forms when one or more electrons are removed from a parent atom.

Alright in this question, we are given an electron configuration For an element that has 12 electrons. Six, three S. Now, if you're drawing this out using the actual diagram where you start with the one s it would have to electrons then we moved to us, it would have to electrons then we would move 22 P. And it has six, so four 5 6. And then we go up to three s.
Which also has two electrons. The way this diagram is drawn out every one of these lines is an orbital. Remember each orbital can hold two electrons. So if you just count up the lines, we have the total number of orbital's that are full. So we have one here. Two, three, six orbital's. Remember your S Has one possible orbital? Your P has three possible orbital's D. Has five And F has seven. It's more than likely most of what you'll need. Um when you're doing these electron configurations.
How many orbitals are completely filled in an atom whose electron configurat…
