Question

orbital electronic configuration of magnesium and potasium

Answer 1

Magnesium has 12 electrons. So we start with energy level 1 and put 2 electrons in it. Then we move to energy level two which has the 2s and the 2p orbitals. This level can hold 8 electrons.

$\textbf{\small{\red{Electronic configuration of magnesium}} }$

Ne 3s2

Magnesium/Electron configuration

We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the remaining two electrons in the 3s. Therefore the Magnesium electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s2. The configuration notation provides an easy way for scientists to write and communicate how electrons are arranged around the nucleus of an atom.

$\underline{\sf{\red{electronic /: configuration. of. potasium}}}$

We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the next six electrons. We now shift to the 4s orbital where we place the remaining electron. Therefore the Potassium electron configuration will

be 1s22s22p63s23p64s1.
