Periodic table (electron configurations)

**Chemical series of the periodic table**
Alkali metals	Alkaline earth metals	Lanthanides	Actinides	Transition metals
Poor metals	Metalloids	Nonmetals	Halogens	Noble gases

Grayed out electron numbers indicate subshells that are filled to their maximum.
Configurations of elements with light gray background are uncertain or not available.

Configurations that are unavailable are guessed to be similar to the element directly above on the Periodic Table.

The bracketed noble gas symbols on the left represent the inner configurations that are the same in each period. Written out these are:

He, 2, helium : 1s²

Ne, 10, neon : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Ar, 18, argon : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Kr, 36, krypton : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶

Xe, 54, xenon : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶

Rn, 86, radon : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p⁶

Note the non-linear shell ordering, which comes about is due to the different energies of smaller and larger shells.
