Definition: the
arrangement of electrons
in space around a
nucleus
The periodic table reveals
patterns in how the
electrons are arranged


Always start at hydrogen
List the boxes you have to go through to
get to the atom of interest
◦ If you go through multiple boxes that have the
same number/letter use a superscript to indicate
how many of that type of box were passed

You must include the position of the atom
of interest

Be
1s22s2

Add up the
superscripts! What do
you notice?
2 + 2 = 4 = atomic # of Be
Al
1s22s22p63s23p1 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1= 13 = atomic # of Al

How can you check your
work?

Electron configurations can also be used to
identify an atom
◦ Sum of subscripts = atomic #
◦ Example: 1s22s22p63s23p4
 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 4 = 16 = atomic # 16
 Element is S

The last letter/number can be found on
the periodic table
◦ Example:
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s24f145d9
 Find 5d9
 5d9 = Au
