Concept Introduction: The electronic configuration of an atom or ion represents the distribution of electrons in the atom or ion. It represents the sequence of atomic orbitals in the increasing order of their energy.
In each orbital the electrons must be filled according to their maximum capacity. For example; s-orbital can accommodate 2 electrons, p-orbital can accommodate 6 electrons, d-orbital can accommodate 10 electrons and f-orbital can accommodate 14 electrons maximum.
