Electron configurations are a shorthand form of an orbital diagram, describing which orbitals are occupied for a given element. for example, 1s22s22p1 is the electron configuration of boron. use this tool to generate the electron configuration of arsenic (as).

[Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³

Explanation:

Arsenic has an atomic number of 33, thus 33 protons and 33 electrons. The electron configuration is:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³

The shorthand notation includes the previous noble gas to represent the inner electrons. The gas previous to arsenic is argon, with 18 electrons. The shorthand notation for arsenic is:

[Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting
