Electronic configuration: periodicity

Electronic configuration

Units

None

This gives the ground state neutral gaseous atom electronic configuration of the elements.

Notes

There are minor discrepancies when the data are compared from different literature sources. I am grateful to Dr. William C. Martin (NIST, USA) for bringing Ref. 1 to my attention.
