electron configuration – Montessori Muddle

Playing with Electron Configurations

I upgraded the table part of the Electron Configuration Interactive I used in the app I made for Practicing Writing out Electron Configurations. It’s now more interactive and embeddable.

Click on the green cell (in the 3d subshell) to start adding electrons. Clicking on the previous cell will remove electrons.

The full documentation is here.

Electron Configuration Practice

A quick electron configuration practice webpage that lets you enter the symbol for an element and see if you can write out the electron configuration in both the full and noble gas forms.

Screen capture from the electron configuration webpage. Sulfur (S) is entered, and then the long form and noble gas form of the configurations can be entered and checked. In this case, there is an error in one part of the noble gas form.

The table at the bottom is a guide to filling the electron shells and orbitals. You can click any of the blue squares to change the number of electrons in the orbital.

Update

An improved version of the lower, table part is here.
