21 Electronic Structure of AtomsThe electronic structure of an atom describes the arrangement of electrons in different energy levels (shells) and sublevels (orbitals) around the nucleus. Electrons occupy energy levels in order of increasing energy, following the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule. The distribution follows the pattern 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶, and so on, filling orbitals based on their energy hierarchy. This structure determines an element’s chemical properties and bonding behavior. 1 / 35.
