To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configuration with numbers, letters, and superscripts?
when the aim is to use less space
when the aim is to show electron spins
when the aim is to show orbital shapes in subshells
when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

Answer : Option B) when the aim is to show electron spins

Explanation : When we aim to show the orbital shapes in sub shells, it means that we are aiming to show the electron spins for that element or molecule. The symbols used to represent electrons are these ↑↓ arrows. When both the arrow are in opposite direction that means it cancels the spin of each other and is in neutral state.
