Electronic Configuration

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The creator of this collection of chemistry slides is clever! Electron configuration is explained as, click-by-click, orbitals are displayed and then each is subsequently filled with the proper amount of electrons. After the progression, a learning check slide and multiple choice questions give viewers the opportunity to practice. You will appreciate this teaching tool!
