Concept Introduction:

Electronic configuration: The electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.

Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals. The increasing order of orbital energy is s, p, d and f.    The lowest energy orbital is ls.

The energy order of the orbital for the first three periods is as follows,

    ls, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p.

The orbital which is closer to the nucleus has lower energy; therefore the 2s is lower in energy than 3s.   Accordingly 2s is lower in energy than 2p and 4s is lower in energy than 3d.

In general, the orbitals can hold maximum of two electrons, the two electrons must have opposite spin.

The subshell ordering by Aufbau principle is given below,

    ls, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p, 8s, ...

Electrons are filled in each orbital one after another in the increasing order of energy.  While filling the orbitals, more than two electrons can be placed in an orbital.  And also, the spin of the two electron in the same orbital must be paired.

If there are more than one orbitals in a subshell are available for filling the electron, then electrons with parallel spin goes to different subshell rather than pairing two electrons in one orbital.

If an atom having electrons in energy states higher than predicted by the above rules then it is said to be in an excited state.
