Chemistry - Shorthand (Noble Gas) Electron Configuration

The video tutorial introduces shorthand notation for electron configurations, also known as Noble Gas Electron Configuration. It explains the process using examples of elements like aluminum, calcium, and bromine, and extends the concept to ions such as rubidium and oxygen. The tutorial emphasizes the use of noble gases in the notation and provides a step-by-step guide to writing shorthand configurations using both longhand notation and the periodic table.

What is the shorthand notation for the rubidium ion?

How does the charge of an ion affect its electron configuration?

What is the shorthand electron configuration for the oxygen ion?
