- identify the electronic configuration of an atom from diagrams,
- identify the atom from written or pictorial representations of its electronic configuration,
- relate chemical reactivity to an atom’s electronic configuration,
- describe how atoms with 8 electrons in the outer energy level are often inert and do not react chemically.
