E.g. Li would be 1s2 2s1 instead of 1s22s The number in parentheses after the symbol is the element's atomic number.

The number of subshells per shell and number of orbitals per subshell stay the same, but an orbital now holds three electrons instead of two. The names of the elements stay the same. Draw the top three rows of what this new periodic table would look like, indicating which elements are in which groups in our new universe, and show the electron configurations of each of the elements of these three rows.arrow_forward
