Steps :

1. Write down the complete electronic configuration

of given species using Aufbau Principle (including
exceptional electronic configuration) and select
that electron for which sigma to be calculated.
2. Now you have to manipulate that electronic
configuration using shell number (means different
subshell of same shell comes out to be closer).
3. Form groups of the subshells in given manner
( ns, np ), ( nd ), ( nf )
