This page shows the electron configurations of the neutral gaseous atoms in their ground states. For each atom the subshells are given first in concise form, then with all subshells written out, followed by the number of electrons per shell. For phosphorus (element 15) as an example, the concise form is [Ne] 3s2 3p3. Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s2 3p3) are written explicitly for all atoms.
Note that these electron configurations are given for neutral atoms in the gas phase, which are not the same as the electron configurations for the same atoms in chemical environments. In many cases, multiple configurations are within a small range of energies and the irregularities shown below do not necessarily have a clear relation to chemical behaviour.[1] For the undiscovered eighth-row elements, mixing of configurations is expected to be very important, and sometimes the result can no longer be well-described by a single configuration.[2]

To save room, the configurations are in noble gas shorthand. This means part of the electron configuration has been replaced with the element symbol of the noble gas symbol. Look up the electronic configuration of that noble gas and include that value before the rest of the configuration. This table is available to download as a PDF to use as a study sheet.
In the transition metals, the five d orbitals are being filled in, and the elements in general have electron configurations of (n-1)d1-10 ns2, although there are some exceptions when electrons are shuffled around to produce half-filled or filled d subshells. Many of the transition metals can lose two or three electrons, forming cations with charges of 2+ or 3+, but there are some which form 1+ charges, and some which form much higher charges.
The Group 3B elements (Group 3 in the IUPAC designation) usually have electron configuration (n-1)d1 ns2. In most periodic tables, lanthanum and actinium are considered to be a part of Group 3B, but in others lanthanum and actinium are considered part of the inner transition elements, leaving lutetium and lawrencium in Group 3B instead. Most of these elements form 3+ charges, although other oxidation states are known.
Yttrium is used in the phosphors that make the red elements of cathode-ray tube (CRT) televisions and computer monitors, and is also used to make white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Yttrium is also used in some metal alloys. Yttrium is also a component of some of the "high-temperature superconductors" which conduct electricity with no resistance at temperatures below 90K (which can be accomplished by immersing the material in liquid nitrogen). The radioactive isotope yttrium-90, is used in the treatment of some cancers.
Actinium is a silvery-white, radioactive metal, which glows with blue light in the dark. Its name comes from the Greek word aktinos, meaning "ray." It is found only in trace amounts in the Earth's crust, and is one of the 10 least abundant elements. It is produced in the decay sequences of radioactive uranium-235. The most stable isotope of actinium is actinium-227, which has a half-life of 22.6 years, decaying by beta emission to produce thorium-227.
The Group 6B elements (Group 6 in the IUPAC designation) usually have the electron configuration (n-1)d5 ns1, instead of the expected (n-1)d4 ns2. Since their d orbitals are one electron away from being half-filled (i.e., having one electron in each of the five d orbitals), an s electron can move into the d orbitals to make a more stable half-filled d-orbital configuration.
The existence of technetium was predicted from the gap in the periodic table between the elements molybdenum (Z=42) and ruthenium (Z=44), but element 43 proved to be extremely elusive. Many early reports of its discovery turned out to be mistaken, being instead impure samples of other, known elements. The element was finally discovered in 1937 by Emilio Segre and Carlo Perrier at the University of Palermo in Italy, in a sample of molybdenum-96 that had been bombarded with deuterium (hydrogen-2), producing technetium-97. The element may have been discovered earlier by Walter Noddack, Otto Berg, and Ida Tacke in 1925, who bombarded a sample of columbite [(Fe, Mn)(Nb, Ta)2O6] with a beam of electrons, and reported an X-ray signal that they believed to be element 43, which they named "masurium" after after Masuria in eastern Prussia (now a part of Poland). However, their results could not be reproduced, and their claim was not accepted; recent research indicates they they may indeed have been able to produce very small amounts of element 43 by this method after all.
The Group 8B elements are designated Groups 8, 9, and 10 in the IUPAC designation. The elements in each period of these groups are very similar in their chemical and physical properties. The Group 8 elements usually have the electron configuration (n-1)d6 ns2, the Group 9 elements usually have the electron configuration (n-1)d7 ns2, and the Group 10 elements usually have the electron configuration (n-1)d8 ns2.
Ruthenium is used in the electronics industry in some electrical contacts and chip resistors. It is also used in the anodes used to produce chlorine in electrolytic cells. It is also used in alloys with platinum and palladium in jewelry to harden the metals.
Palladium is used in catalytic converters, dental fillings, jewelry (as an alloy with gold called white gold), in the mainsprings of analog wristwatches, and the ceramic capacitors used in many electronic devices. Palladium(II) chloride, PdCl2, is used in instruments for detecting carbon monoxide.
The Group 1B elements (Group 11 in the IUPAC designation) have the electron configuration (n-1)d10 ns1, instead of the expected (n-1)d9 ns2; since in d9 s2 configuration the d orbitals are one electron away from being completely filled, an electron from the s orbital occupies a d orbital instead, leaving one electron in the valence shell. These metals usually form 1+ charges, which is why this group has historically been called 1B. The elements in this group are sometimes referred to as "coinage metals" because they have historically been used in coins, although other metals besides the ones in Group 1B have been used in coins as well.
The Group 2B elements (Group 12 in the IUPAC designation) have the electron configuration (n-1)d10 ns2. These metals usually form 2+ charges, which is why this group has historically been called 2B (or not 2B, that is the question).
For example, the names of the subshells in a sulfur atom would be 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p (since sulfur has three electron shells). All of these shells are filled except the 3p shell which has four electrons. Therefore, the electronic configuration of sulfur can be written as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.
Electronic configuration, also called electronic structure, the arrangement of electrons in energy levels around an atomic nucleus. According to the older shell atomic model, electrons occupy several levels from the first shell nearest the nucleus, K, through the seventh shell, Q, farthest from the nucleus.
The electronic configuration of Chromium is 1s2 ,2s2 , 2p6 , 3s2 ,3p6 ,4s1 ,3d5 and not 1s2 ,2s2 , 2p6 , 3s2 ,3p6 ,4s2 ,3d4. It is because half-filled or fully filled subshells are more stable than partially filled orbitals. Moreover, half-filled subshells have fewer electron-electron repulsions in the orbitals, thereby are more stable.
There are 118 elements in the periodic table. Each element has a unique atomic structure that is influenced by its electronic configuration, which is the distribution of electrons across different orbitals of an atom. This article provides you with an electronic configuration chart for all these elements.
Each shell has subshells that are named for the type of emission lines produced from different states of angular momentum. They stand for sharp (S), principal (P), diffuse (D), and fundamental (F). The subshells have a distinct shape and configuration, in which the electrons move freely. Each shell and subshell have a limitation on the amount of electrons that it can carry. The maximum electrons that can be carried by the sub-shell S is 2, by P is 6, by D is 10, and the F sub-shell can carry 14. This decides the electron capacity of the shells. The K shell contains a 1s subshell hence it can carry 2 electrons, the L shell has 2s and 2p, and can carry 8 electrons. The M shell contains 3s, 3p, and 3d, and can carry 18 electrons. The N shell containing 4s, 4d, 4p and 4f, can carry 32 electrons. Such an arrangement helps explain the periodicity and periodic trends observed across the elements of the periodic table.
Electronic configurations of elements P, Q, R and S are given below. (These are not actual symbols).
P - $$2, 2$$
Q - $$2, 8, 2$$
R - $$2, 8, 5$$
S - $$2, 8$$

Following hydrogen is the noble gas helium, which has an atomic number of 2. The helium atom contains two protons and two electrons. The two electrons will occupy the same orbital but they will have different spin states, one will be spin-up () and the other spin-down (). This is in accord with the Pauli exclusion principle. For orbital diagrams, this means two half-arrows go in each box (representing two electrons in each orbital) and the half-arrows must point in opposite directions (representing paired spins). The electron configuration and orbital box diagram of helium are: ff782bc1db
