Activity C of the Electron Configuration Gizmo , the focus shifts to the and the unique behavior of subshell filling for elements beyond Argon. The core concept explored is the Aufbau Principle , which states that electrons must occupy the lowest-energy orbital available before moving to higher levels. Key Observations and Answer Guide Filling Beyond Argon : When moving from Argon ( ) to Potassium ( ), you may initially try to place an electron in the
