Electronic Configuration Of Atoms

Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of everything around us. They consist of three main components: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Electrons move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. The way these electrons are arranged in an atom is known as its electronic conf...

Transcript

Atoms have a nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. But do you know how these electrons are distributed?

Electrons are arranged in shells around the nucleus, labeled as K, L, M, and so on, starting with the K shell, which is the innermost and closest to the nucleus.

To find the maximum number of electrons for a shell, th...
