Review and Reinforce: Ground State Electron Configuration, Orbital Diagrams and Electron Configuration Notation, and Valence Electrons

ON MONDAY, we will review the three rules on how electrons are arranged in an atom’s orbitals. Furthermore, we will answer and correct the two methods that are used to represent an atom’s electron configuration (Orbital Diagrams and Electron Configuration Notation) as well as elaborate upon the importance and the behavior of the valence electrons of an atom. Time permitting, we will elaborate upon how to draw the electron-dot structure of an element in terms of its symbol and valence electrons.
