The electron configuration of an atom specifies the occupation of its orbitals. The atomic orbitals (AOs) are labeled by a principal quantum number n = 1, ..., 7 and a letter that is in one-to-one correspondence with its orbital angular momentum quantum number l:

See hydrogen-like atom for a further explanation of this notation. See the article "Electron orbital" for the source of the AOs and the building-up principle. A table of atomic electron configurations of all natural elements is given below in increasing atomic number. The following table is a linear form of the Periodic table of elements.
