Germainum is in the 4th row Energy Level of the periodic table. The d orbitals Groups 3-12 (columns) can hold 10 electrons.Įach energy level must be filled before moving up an energy level.Įach orbital group must fill before moving to the next orbital group. The p orbitals Groups 13 - 18 (columns) can hold 6 electrons The s orbitals Groups 1 & 2 (columns) can hold 2 electrons (Select all that apply.) 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d 4s 4p 4d 4f This state cannot make downward transitions. Question: List the excited states (in spectroscopic notation) to which the 3s state can make downward transitions. The superscript tells us the number of electrons in the orbital. This problem has been solved Youll get a detailed solution from a subject matter expert that helps you learn core concepts. The Coefficient tells us the Energy Level (Row) of the periodic table The electron configuration for the first 10 elements The "f block" on the periodic table are the Lanthanide and Actinide series.Įlectron Configurations are an organized means of documenting the placement of electrons based upon the energy levels and orbitals groupings of the periodic table. The "d block" on the periodic table are groups 3-12 make up the d block and the elements' electron configurations end in d. The "p block" on the periodic table are groups 13-18 and end in p1, etc. The "s block" on the periodic table are groups 1 and 2 they end in s1 and s2. These rare earth metals are 2 periods behind because the f electrons are even higher in energy than the d electrons. The transition metals are behind by one period because the d electrons are high in energy.įor the rare earth elements (the Lanthanides and Actinides), they end in f. Scandium would end in 3d1, titanium in 3d2, etc. The general rule is that the element's electron configuration ends in d and whatever place they are in. And so it goes.įor the transition metals, groups 3-12, there are many exceptions. In group 4A or 14, all elements end in p2. Group 3A, or 13 all end their electron configurations in p1.
Group 2 elements (2A), the alkaline earth metals, all end in s2 What period the element is in determines the 1st number.Įxample: H ends in 1s1 (even though H is not a metal, it resides in this group because it also has one valence electron) Group 1A (1), the alkali metals all end is s1. When looking at electron configuration, your fill order of electrons is:
