Long-hand version: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 Short-hand version: [Kr] 5s^2 Note: The "^" symbol means the the following number is in the form of a superscript.
The full electron configuration for strontium (Z=38) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2.
[Kr] 5s2
The noble gas electron configuration of strontium fluoride is [Kr] 5s^2. This means that the electron configuration of strontium fluoride is obtained by adding electrons to the electron configuration of krypton until reaching the total number of electrons in strontium fluoride.
NO!!!! Each element has it own ground state electron configuration. Rubidium is [Kr] 5s1 Strontium is [Kr] 5s2. Notice that strontium has one MORE electron than Rubidium. The symbol [Kr] is shorthand for the full electron configuration of krypton.
The noble gas configuration for Sr (strontium) is [Kr]5s2
