Electron Configurations - Solutions
Note: The electron configurations in this worksheet assume that lanthanum (La)
is the first element in the 4f block and that actinium (Ac) is the first element in the
5f block. If your periodic table doesnt agree with this, your answers for elements
near the f-orbitals may be slightly different.
1) sodium 1s22s22p63s1
2) iron 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6
3) bromine 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p5
4) barium 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s2
5) neptunium 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s24f145d106p67s25f5
6) cobalt [Ar] 4s23d7
7) silver [Kr] 5s24d9
8) tellurium [Kr] 5s24d105p4
9) radium [Rn] 7s2
10) lawrencium [Rn] 7s25f146d1
11) 1s22s22p63s23p4 sulfur
12) 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1 rubidium
13) [Kr] 5s24d105p3 antimony
14) [Xe] 6s24f145d6 osmium
15) [Rn] 7s25f11 einsteinium
16) 1s22s22p63s23p64s24d104p5 not valid (take a look at 4d)
17) 1s22s22p63s33d5 not valid (3p comes after 3s)
18) [Ra] 7s25f8 not valid (radium isnt a noble gas)

19) [Kr] 5s24d105p5 valid

20) [Xe] not valid (an element cant be its own electron configuration)
