The following chart shows the energy necessary to remove electrons based on their sublevels. They go in order of the Aufbau Principle. Using this information, we can determine the electron configuration of the element.

Atomic Structure Warm Up Problem 2
The chart above is based on the energy it takes to remove an electron from a particular atom. The more energy it takes to remove an electron, the closer that electron is to the nucleus. The graph separates the electrons based on their sublevels. Answer the following questions based on the Photoelectric Spectrum Chart.

1. The electron configuration for this element is _______
2. The noble gas notation for this element is _______ 
3. If this element was found to have 16 neutrons, it would have the isotope symbol _______. Use the keyboard symbol below for the mass number and atomic number.
