What is wrong with the following notation? You should find two things wrong.

Electron configurations- Time to put it together. The arrows in the boxes are the full diagram of all the electrons in an element. The electron configuration is  the short hand of the diagram and more usable.

Each element atom has a unique configuration based on the number of electrons that matches the number of protons, or the atomic number. Use the filled-in information to determine what should be filled in for each marked area. For example, the last line has the diagram and configuration filled in. Each reflects 11 electrons. The element with 11 electrons is sodium so the answer would be Na.

Please note the column headings are not properly aligned, but in the right order.

Count the arrows or exponents. They should match. Use this to identify the element.
