  • Grayed out electron numbers indicate subshells that are filled to their maximum.
  • Configurations of elements with light gray background are uncertain or not available.

Configurations that are unavailable are guessed to be similar to the element directly above on the Periodic Table.

  • The bracketed noble gas symbols on the left represent the inner configurations that are the same in each period. Written out these are:
He, 2, helium : 1s2
Ne, 10, neon : 1s2 2s2 2p6
Ar, 18, argon : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
Kr, 36, krypton : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6
Xe, 54, xenon : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6
Rn, 86, radon : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6
  • Note the non-linear shell ordering, which comes about is due to the different energies of smaller and larger shells.
