Electron Configurations with the Periodic Table - Chemistry
Offered By: Khan Academy via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Learn how to determine electron configurations using the periodic table in this comprehensive chemistry video. Explore the organization of the periodic table, including periods, groups, and blocks (s, p, d, f). Discover how an element's location on the table relates to its electron structure and valence electrons. Practice writing electron configurations for various elements, from hydrogen to d-block elements, and master the noble gas shorthand notation. Gain a deeper understanding of atomic structure and periodicity through clear explanations and practical examples.
