==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''electronic configuration''' of an [[atom]] is the way the [[electron]]s are arranged in [[Electron Orbital|orbitals]] around the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
===About The Electronic Configuration===
: The '''electronic configuration''' of an [[atom]] is written by stating the number of [[electron]]s in each [[Electron Shell|electron shell]].
: As an example [[Argon]] has 2 [[electron]]s in the first [[Electron Orbital|shell]], 8 in the second and 8 in the last, so the '''electronic configuration''' is 2,8,8.
