Using periodic table to find configurations?
Can the periodic table be used to do the molecule configuration because you can use it to find out how many subshells/orbitals it has right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you!

Yes! The periodic table is actually structured based on these similarities. As you can see in the middle section of the periodic table, all of those elements contain d-orbitals.

Yes it can tell you the electron configuration. The number indicates how many electrons the element has. You can find the orbitals/subshells by looking at what group and period the element is in.

Yes, you should be using the periodic table when finding configurations because the way that the periodic table is structured is related to these orbitals and configurations (electrons and whatnot).
