What type of configuration specifies the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom?
A) Heisenberg configuration
B) Nuclear configuration
C) Atomic configuration
D) Proton configuration
E) Electron configuration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is determined by its electron configuration. The electron configuration specifies the number of electrons in each energy level and sublevel, as well as their spin orientation. The other options, such as Heisenberg configuration and nuclear configuration, do not relate to the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom.
