Electronic Con,guration of
First 30 Elements
The standard notation for the indication of

the electronic con0guration of atoms is
written in a sequence of the label names of
each atomic subshell with the number of
electrons assigned to that speci0c subshell
written in superscript.
These subshells are made up of atomic
orbitals. The four subshell labels that are
used are s, p, d, and f. The maximum
number of electrons allowed in each of
these subshells are 2, 6, 10, and 14
respectively.
For example, the names of the subshells in
a sulfur atom would be 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p
(since sulfur has three electron shells). All
of these shells are 0lled except the 3p shell
which has four electrons. Therefore, the
electronic con0guration of sulfur can be
written as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.
The electronic con0guration of elements
can also be written with the help of noble
gases. These noble gases have completely
0lled outermost shells and can be pre0xed
to the outermost shell of the element whose
electronic con0guration must be noted.
For example, the electronic con0guration of
sulfur can be written as [Ne] 3s2 3p4, since
Neon has an electronic con0guration of 1s2
2s2 2p6.

The electronic con0guration of 0rst 30

elements with atomic numbers listed above
corresponds to the ground state of the
speci0c elements. Any con0guration that
does not correspond to the lowest energy
state is called an excited state. To learn

In this periodic table the electronic con0guration of

Copper (Cu) is wrong.
The correct con0guration is
Cu= [Ar] 3d9 4s2
Please correct that others are right and very useful.
REPLY
Mentor OCTOBER 15, 2020 AT 10:03 AM
This is expected that the con0guration of

copper is 3d94s2. However, it turns out that
the 3d104s1 con0guration is more stable,
because that way the 3d subshell is full,
which is a far more stable arrangement than
3d9. Due to extra stability of half 0lled and
ful0lled orbital, Cu have con0guration
1s22s22p63s23p63d104s14p0.
