Electron configuration shows the arrangement of the electrons of an atom in the orbitals.
00:07
According to off -bose principle, we distribute the electrons in the following order of atomic orbitals.
00:15
1s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, and so on.
00:23
Each s orbital can hold as much as two electrons, while p can hold as much as 6, and d can hold as 10.
00:32
So let us find the electron configuration for a carbon atom that has six electrons.
00:42
It's six because a neutral carbon atom has as much electrons as protons.
00:48
The atomic number of carbon is six, and so its number of protons is also six.
00:55
Thus, the number of electrons would also be six.
00:58
So we distribute these six electrons...
