Electron configuration of atoms

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– define the four quantum numbers
– describe the structure of energy levels in a many–electron atom
– define s, p and d orbitals, and describe their shapes
– describe the rules for assigning electrons to subshells
– deduce the electron configuration of an atom from its atomic number
– describe the position of the element in the periodic table based on its electron configuration.
