Drawing Orbitals and Electron Spins

[Ariel Fern 2B]

When a question asks to write the electron configuration, it is typically asking for just the subshells and the number of electrons within the subshell. I was wondering under what context would we also have to draw out the orbitals and arrows representing the electron spins: Would the question just ask directly to sketch these? I don't think I've come across a question like that. I know for 1E.21 & 23, I drew them to see how many unpaired electrons there were, but I was wondering if there was a type of electron configuration that would ask to sketch the electron spins.

That kind of detail isnt really necessary, so only draw it out if the question specifically asks for it.

Unless it asks for the spin, I would just write the configuration with [noble gas] sub shells after. However, drawing out the spins and the levels may help to visualize.
