Interpretation: The abbreviated electron configuration of following elements should be explained.
Concept introduction: The abbreviated electron configurations use noble gas configurations, which have full electron shells, to describing the electronic structure of some elements. The electron configuration can be visualized as the outer electrons, equal to the noble gas of the preceding period, and the valence electrons.
a) abbreviated electron configuration of magnesium
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of magnesium element.
b) abbreviated Electron configuration of oxygen
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of oxygen element.
c) abbreviated Electron configuration sulfur
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of sulfur element.
d) abbreviated Electron configuration of nitrogen
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of nitrogen element.
