The document outlines objectives for learning about electron configuration including listing the number of electrons in each main energy level, stating the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule, and describing electron configurations using orbital, electron-configuration, and noble-gas notations. It then defines electron configuration and the ground state and provides rules for electron configuration including the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule.
