This page shows the electron configurations of the neutral gaseous atoms in their ground states. For each atom the subshells are given first in concise form, then with all subshells written out, followed by the number of electrons per shell. For phosphorus (element 15) as an example, the concise form is [Ne] 3s 2 3p 3.
Chromium and copper have electron configurations [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1 and [Ar] 3d 10 4s 1 respectively, i.e. one electron has passed from the 4s-orbital to a 3d-orbital to generate a half-filled or filled subshell. In this case, the usual explanation is that "half-filled or completely filled subshells are particularly stable arrangements of electrons".
Configurations of elements 109 and above are not available. Predictions from reliable sources have been used for these elements. Grayed out electron numbers indicate subshells filled to their maximum. Bracketed noble gas symbols on the left represent inner configurations that are the same in each period. Written out, these are: He, 2, helium : 1s 2
Its members are chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and seaborgium (Sg). These are all transition metals and chromium, molybdenum and tungsten are refractory metals. The electron configuration of these elements do not follow a unified trend, though the outermost shells do correlate with trends in chemical behavior:
Naturally occurring chromium is composed of four stable isotopes; 50 Cr, 52 Cr, 53 Cr and 54 Cr, with 52 Cr being the most abundant (83.789% natural abundance). 50 Cr is observationally stable , as it is theoretically capable of decaying to 50 Ti via double electron capture with a half-life of no less than 1.3 × 10 18 years.
The form with the f-block included in the main body is sometimes called the 32-column [6] or long form; [33] the form with the f-block cut out the 18-column [6] or medium-long form. [33] The 32-column form has the advantage of showing all elements in their correct sequence, but it has the disadvantage of requiring more space. [34]

This is a list of chemical elements and their atomic properties, ordered by atomic number (Z).. Since valence electrons are not clearly defined for the d-block and f-block elements, there not being a clear point at which further ionisation becomes unprofitable, a purely formal definition as number of electrons in the outermost shell has been used.
