Table 5.1. Reviewed 2011 by J.E. Sansonetti (NIST). The electronic configurations and the ionization energies are from the NIST database, “Ground Levels and Ionization Energies for the Neutral Atoms,” W.C. Martin, A. Musgrove, S. Kotochigova, and J.E. Sansonetti, http://www.nist.gov/pml/data/ion energy.cfm. The electron configuration for, say, iron indicates an argon electronic core (see argon) plus six 3d electrons and two 4s electrons.
