*delete me* I have a final exam in 2 days, and I do not recall ever being taught how to do this. I also cannot find anything online/

Thank You.

We sometimes use the Nelson chemistry 20/30 textbook, but not much. Example:

Iron electron configuration:

[Ar] 3d6 4s2

Compare to neutral iron atom configuration. How many electrons missing?
