What to do with all this info?
Rules for writing electron configuration:
1. The no. of electrons in neutral atom =
atomic no. (no. of protons)
2. Fill the lowest energy sublevel
completely, then the next lowest, etc.
3. No more than two electrons can be placed
in a single orbital. The electrons have
opposite spins in the same orbital. (2
electrons in s, 6 in p, 10 in d, 14 in f)
