The aim is to use less space while demonstrating the distribution of electrons in shells

If you want to depict how an atom's electrons are scattered across its subshells, an orbital notation is more suited.

This is due to the fact that some atoms have unique electronic configurations that are not readily apparent from textual configurations.

<h3>How does electron configuration work?</h3>

The placement of electrons in orbitals surrounding an atomic nucleus is known as electronic configuration, also known as electronic structure or electron configuration.

<h3>What sort of electron arrangement would that look like?</h3>
  • For instance: You can see that oxygen contains 8 electrons on the periodic table.
  • These 8 electrons would fill in the following order: 1s, 2s, and finally 2p, according to the aforementioned fill order. O 1s22s22p4 would be oxygen's electron configuration.

Uranium-238 decays very slowly.its half-life is 4.47 billion years.
coldgirl [10]
13.4 billion years is 3 times of the half-life, 4.47 billion years. So the Uranium-238 will go through three times of half decay. So the remain percentage will be 50%*50%*50%=12.5%.
