    The electron configuration of an element describes how electrons are distributed in its atomic orbitals. It consists of 4 levels: s, p, d, and f. To write the electron configuration, you list the number of electrons in each orbital, starting with the closest orbital to the nucleus and working outwards. For ions, you write the parent element's configuration and then indicate whether electrons were gained or lost to form the ion.

    Definition:
    The electron configuration of an
    element describes how electrons are
    distributed in its atomic orbitals. And it
    consists of 4 levels s,p,d,and f.
    How to write the electron configuration for an
    element:

    N:7 electrons
    (1s²  2s²   2p³) 1s 
    2s   2p 
    3s   3p   3d 
    AL:13 electron  4s   4p   4d   4f 
    (1s²   2s²   2p⁶   3s²   3p¹)
    2     6     10   14
    How to write the electron
    configuration for an ion:
    Fe ²+ (24 e)
    (1s²   2s²   2p⁶   3s²   3p⁶   4s⁰ 
    Fe :26 e 1s 
     3d⁶) 2s   2p 
    (1s²   2s²   2p⁶   3s²   3p⁶    4s²   3d⁶)
    3s   3p   3d 
    4s   4p   4d   4f

    How to write the electron
    configuration for an ion:
    An anion (negatively charged ion) forms when one
    or more electrons are added to a parent atom. 1s 
    2s   2p 
    P: 1s22s22p63s23p3. Phosphorus training gains 3s   3p   3d 
    three electrons, so P3−: 1s22s22p63s23p6.
    4s   4p   4d   4f
