Question
Compare the terms orbital diagram and electron configuration.
Step 1
The electron configuration is written as $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$. This means there are two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, six electrons in the 2p orbital, and one electron in the 3s orbital. Show more…
