An element's location on the table can be used to determine its electron configuration. By following the order of periods (rows) and blocks (s, p, d, f), you can trace how electrons fill the atom's orbitals and efficiently determine the distribution of electrons in an atom. Sections: 00:00 - Introduction 00:45 - Periodic table layout - periods and groups 02:10 - Period and valence shell number 02:52 - s, p, d, and f block elements 04:25 - Finding the number of valence electrons 05:38 - Modified periodic table for writing electron configurations 06:14 - Electron configuration of hydrogen, helium, & lithium 07:47 - Electron configuration of carbon & chlorine 09:33 - Electron configuration of d-block elements 12:58 - Noble gas shorthand Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We offer quizzes, questions, instructional videos, and articles on a range of academic subjects, including math, biology, chemistry, physics, history, economics, finance, grammar, preschool learning, and more. We provide teachers with tools and data so they can help their students develop the skills, habits, and mindsets for success in school and beyond. Khan Academy has been translated into dozens of languages, and 15 million people around the globe learn on Khan Academy every month. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we would love your help!
