The answer is <span>D.when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells. This is because there are some instances when elements don't possess a regular or normal electron configuration. There are those who have special electron configurations wherein a lower subshell isn't completely filled before occupying a higher subshell. It is best to visualize such cases using the orbital notation.</span>

What about solids ? Do solids move around like liquids and gases ?​
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

No, gases move freely all over the place, liquids move more freely but in a more contained area, and solids the molecules are rigid, at the most the movement is small vibration as the molecules put pressure on one another to hold their form and stay in place.
