Step 1: Identify the atomic number of selenium (Se) from the periodic table. Selenium has an atomic number of 34, which means it has 34 electrons to be placed in orbitals.
Step 2: Recall the order of filling electron orbitals according to the Aufbau principle, which is: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, and so on.
Step 3: Begin filling the orbitals with electrons following the order and the maximum number of electrons each orbital can hold: s orbitals hold 2, p orbitals hold 6, and d orbitals hold 10 electrons.
Step 4: Distribute the 34 electrons into the orbitals step-by-step: fill 1s (2 electrons), 2s (2), 2p (6), 3s (2), 3p (6), 4s (2), 3d (10), and then place the remaining electrons in 4p orbitals.
Step 5: Write the full electron configuration by combining all filled orbitals with their respective electron counts, ensuring the total adds up to 34 electrons for selenium.
