Electron Configuration Teaching Systems and Methods

An electron configuration teaching system comprising:

• a display;
• a memory configured to store a plurality of user interfaces capable of presentation on the display, the plurality of user interfaces including electron configuration diagrams;
• a programmable circuit operatively connected to the display and the memory, the programmable circuit configured to execute program instructions to:
• present on the display one or more of the user interfaces;
• receive user input into an orbital box diagram displayed in the one or more user interfaces, the user input defining a possible electron configuration;
• and
• update the one or more user interfaces to illustrate the electron configuration received from the user.

A computerized method of demonstrating electron configurations in an atomic structure, the method comprising:

• presenting to a user one or more user interfaces stored in memory of the computing system, the one or more user interfaces including a plurality of electron configuration diagrams including an atomic orbital simulation, a periodic table, an alphanumeric representation, an electron dot diagram, and an orbital box diagram;
• receiving user input into the orbital box diagram defining a possible electron configuration;
• in response to the user input, updating the one or more user interfaces to illustrate the electron configuration received from the user;
• upon user request, generating a report regarding compliance of the user-entered electron configuration with one or more electron configuration rules.
