This document provides information about the electronic structure of atoms, including electron configurations and distribution of electrons in different atomic shells and orbitals. It defines shells and orbitals, and explains that electrons fill up lower energy shells and orbitals first according to the Aufbau principle. Tables provide the maximum number of electrons in each shell and the types of orbitals in each shell. Diagrams illustrate orbital shapes and energy level sequences. Examples of electronic configurations of the first 18 elements are given in both orbital and noble gas notation. An exercise section tests understanding of concepts covered.
