The arrangement of electrons in an atom’s shells, often written as a sequence such as 2,8,1.

The arrangement of an atom’s electrons in shells or energy levels, represented using numbers or a diagram.

The arrangement of these electrons is the atom’s electronic structure.

The arrangement of electrons in an atom or ion, often written as the number in each shell, such as 2,8,1.

Check that the numbers in your electronic structure, or the electrons in your diagram, add up to the atom’s total number of electrons.

Describe a noble-gas electronic structure as the result of electron transfer, not as something an atom ‘wants’ to achieve.
