n
choose
choose
the atomic mass number
the principal quantum shell
the number of electrons in the subshell
the symbol of the element
the number of protons
the orbital type - the subshell (l)
a letter (s, p, d, or f)
a superscript

Explanation:

For Question 5: By definition, the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called electron - configuration. Other options like plasma orientation, nucleus arrangement, and nexus configuration are not relevant terms for this concept.
For Question 6: In electron - configuration notation, the letter \(n\) represents the principal quantum shell which indicates the energy level of the electron. The letters \(s\), \(p\), \(d\), or \(f\) represent the orbital type - the subshell. The superscript represents the number of electrons in the subshell.

Answer:

Question 5: C. electron configuration
Question 6:
n: the principal quantum shell
a letter (s, p, d, or f): the orbital type - the subshell (l)
a superscript: the number of electrons in the subshell
