What is the notation for the valence-shell configuration?

Postby Louise Zhuang » Thu Nov 01, 2018 2:06 pm

Give the notation for the valence-shell confi guration (including the outermost d-electrons) of (a) the alkali metals; (b) Group 15 elements; (c) Group 5 transition metals; (d) “coinage” metals (Cu, Ag, Au).

Can someone explain what does "notation" mean?

I think it just means write out the electron configuration

It's asking for the short hand configuration where you use the noble gas and then show the valence electrons
