Electronic Configurations

Postby 406025813 » Sat Dec 09, 2023 6:02 pm

I understand that the configuration of the Al is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2,3p, is there something wrong with my configuration?

That looks right to me! As long as you know the last level, 3p is 3p1

No I don't really see anything wrong with it.

It should be fine. One mistake i did make last time tho was not checking out the different power levels that different orbitals have

Nothing wrong with the configuration it’s just not a full 3p it’s 3p1
