The electron configuration of an atom represents all of the orbital subshells in it that contains electrons. The quantum number n refers to rows in the periodic table. The quantum number l refers to columns in the periodic table. Remember that the n numbering begins with 1 for s, 2 for p 3 for d blocks, and 4 for f. The number of electrons contained in a subshell are shown using a superscript. 3d6 means that there are 6 electrons in the 3d subshell.
