- what is the electron configuration of beryllium?
Step1: Find beryllium's atomic number
Beryllium (Be) has atomic number 4, so 4 electrons.
Step2: Fill orbitals by Aufbau principle
1s orbital holds max 2 electrons first: $1s^2$. Remaining 2 electrons go to 2s: $2s^2$.
Step3: Combine orbitals
Electron configuration is $1s^22s^2$.
