What is the Electron Configuration Calculator & How does it work?
Electron configuration is a method used to describe the arrangement of electrons in an atom. Each electron occupies a specific energy level and sublevel, following the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule.
The electron configuration can be represented using the noble gas notation or by listing each subshell with its corresponding number of electrons. For example, the electron configuration of carbon (atomic number 6) is written as 1s2 2s2 2p2.
