So let's go to neon. Now, neon has ten protons down in the nucleus and ten electrons down in the orbital surrounding our nucleus. So our electron configuration for neon will be one f, two. So two electrons will be in the one s orbital, two electrons will be in a two s orbital, and six electrons will be in the two p orbital. Remember, there are actually three p orbitals. There's PX, PY, and PZ.
