Electron Configuration
Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals, typically expressed using a notation that includes the principal quantum number and the type of orbital (s, p, d, f). In the given diagram, the notation [Ne] indicates that the electron configuration starts from the noble gas neon, followed by the filling of the 3s and 3p orbitals. This configuration helps identify the chemical properties and reactivity of the element.
