My teacher does not want to teach me. Don't worry I'll post more questions. This is just what I have so far. 1. I'm confused about electron configuration. I'm not sure how I should write the exponents. When I go to the next period in the Periodic Table I'm not sure if the oribitals/exponents should start over and what numbers to start at. It also gets confusing when I get into sifferent blocks. I'm practicing writing the electron configurations but got stuck on Ag because I'm not sure what I should do when I get to the D block.

For Ag so far I have
1s^2 2s^2 2p^2 2p^3 2p^4 2p^5 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1 3p^2 3p^4 3p^5

And then I stopped because I was confused.

Also I'm confused why to skip 3s^1?​
