Electronic configuration is a description of how the electrons of an atom are

arranged or distributed in the successive energy levels, sublevels and orbitals of an
atom. Being familiar with the electronic configuration of an atom enables us to deeply
understand matter for it shows salient atomic properties like valence electrons,
valence shells and atomic positions in the periodic table. The number of valence
electrons an atom has allows us to determine the tendency of an atom to combine
with other elements, whether it is metallic or nonmetallic, chemically active or stable.

One way of writing electronic configurations of atoms is by using letters and

numbers.

Chlorine (Cl) has an electronic configuration of

1s2 2s2 2px2 2py2 2pz2 3s2 3px2 3py2 3pz1

Another way of writing the electronic configurations of atoms is by the orbital

notation method. An orbital diagram or notation of a box or circle or just a line for
each orbital available in a given energy level, grouped by sublevel, with an arrow
indicating the electron’s presence and its direction of spin.

Chlorine has an electronic configuration of

↑↓ ↓↑ ↓↑ ↑↓ ↑↓ ↑↓ ↑↓ ↑↓ ↑

1s2 2s2 2px2 2py2 2pz2 3s2

3px2 3py2 3pz1

The short form or condensed electronic configuration of an atom enables us

to write electronic configurations easier and to determine the valence electrons and
valence shell of an atom faster.

For chlorine:

1s2 2s2 2px2 2py2 2pz2 3s2 3px2 3py2 3pz1

(Ne10) 3s2 3px2 3py2 3pz1

Electron configuration refers to the distribution of electrons at different

positions in an atom. On the other hand, valence electrons are the electrons
occupying the highest energy level in an atom.

LEDS (Lewis Electron Dot Structure) proposed by Gilbert N. Lewis, is used to

emphasize the atom’s valence electrons. It is a shorthand method which consists of
a symbol of the element surrounded by dots. The symbol represents the nucleus of
the atom while the dots represent the valence electrons of the atom.
