1s
2s 2p
3s 3p 3d
4s 4p 4d 4f
5s 5p 5d 5f 5g
6s 6p 6d 6f
7s 7p 7d
8s 8p
9s

s = 2e
p = 6e
d = 10e
f = 14e
g = 18e

The table given above gives you the format of arrangement .Just cut each element diagonally.
Write it in a straight line.
Example:
Oxygen : Atm no. = 8
EC= 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4

umm......for class 9-10 we must know this much that every orbital of bohr atom can be divided into other sub orbits or categories...first orbit is of 1 type called s the orbit... the orbit 2 is of two types called s and p....third orbit of three types s, p and d...the fourth orbit is of 4 types s, p, d and f......similarly orbit 5 is of 5 types(s, p, d, f, g) and so on...

but in general practice we dont see any 5 g subshell as there is so less no of elements that the atomic no. is not so high so as to fill 5 g orbital....or sub orbit...

the s orbit can occupy 2 electrons..p orbit 6 electrons..d orbit 10 electrons and f orbit 14 electrons....

now this much must be enough...if more help required mention and we have masters of atomic structures in here!!!
