An occupation pattern over atomic orbitals or subshells used to organize many-electron basis states; the exact state can be a superposition of configurations.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Electron configurations record occupations of a chosen orbital or subshell basis; they are state descriptions, not material assemblies of orbitals.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
wp-physics-electron_configurationThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
An atomic state can be described by its electron-configuration content, but an exact many-electron eigenstate may superpose multiple configurations, so a single configuration is generally only a label or approximation.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Crystal-field splitting and electron count organize idealized d-orbital occupations, spin states, and related trends in coordination complexes; covalency and low symmetry require ligand-field or electronic-structure refinements.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Pauli exclusion constrains occupation of one-electron spin orbitals.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Periodic recurrence is explained in modern chemistry through shell structure, electron configuration, and quantum statistics.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Ground-state electron configurations explain the conventional block assignment through the subshell occupation pattern, while exceptional configurations and ion states require the stated convention.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
