  2. Electron configurations of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configurations_of...

    Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms. Electron configurations of elements beyond hassium (element 108) have never been measured; predictions are used below.

  3. Core electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_electron

    For example, chlorine (element 17), with electron configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 5, has 17 protons and 10 inner shell electrons (2 in the first shell, and 8 in the second) so: Core charge = 17 − 10 = +7. A core charge is the net charge of a nucleus, considering the completed shells of electrons to act as a 'shield.'

  4. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    The electron configuration can be visualized as the core electrons, equivalent to the noble gas of the preceding period, and the valence electrons: each element in a period differs only by the last few subshells. Phosphorus, for instance, is in the third period.

  5. Periodic table (electron configurations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(electron...

    Configurations of elements 109 and above are not available. Predictions from reliable sources have been used for these elements. Grayed out electron numbers indicate subshells filled to their maximum. Bracketed noble gas symbols on the left represent inner configurations that are the same in each period. Written out, these are: He, 2, helium : 1s 2

  6. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Starting from element 11, sodium, the second shell is full, making the second shell a core shell for this and all heavier elements. The eleventh electron begins the filling of the third shell by occupying a 3s orbital, giving a configuration of 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 for sodium.

  7. Valence electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_electron

    Similar to a core electron, a valence electron has the ability to absorb or release energy in the form of a photon. An energy gain can trigger the electron to move (jump) to an outer shell; this is known as atomic excitation. Or the electron can even break free from its associated atom's shell; this is ionization to form a positive ion. When an ...

  8. Effective nuclear charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_nuclear_charge

    The effective nuclear charge experienced by an electron is also called the core charge. It is possible to determine the strength of the nuclear charge by the oxidation number of the atom. Most of the physical and chemical properties of the elements can be explained on the basis of electronic configuration.

  9. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    The electron (e −, or β − in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge. [13] Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, [14] and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure. [1]
