Lesson 24

Today we learned about electron configuration, which is a shorthand way to keep track of all the electrons in their shells in an element. We also learned about electron shells and blocks in the periodic table. The table is divided into the S-block, D-block, P-block and F-block. Each block can only hold so many electrons in each of it's shells. the S block can hold 2, the d block can hold 10, the f block can hold 14 and the p block can hold 6. There is a diagram below that better displays this idea. There is also an example of electron configuration.



This is an exampke of electron configuration.
