Ah let's see, of the top of my head...

~~1s² 2s² 2d⁶ 3s² 2p¹⁰ ...~~

Edited (iirc now, the d block is in the middle with the transition metals, p block with metallics, Halogens, Noble Gases...):

This I was fine with. But that fake make believe redox math? Like are all chemist bad at actual math, so they just came up with their own fake version?
