Answer:

You have to remember this memory aid, diagonals and all.

You have to keep a tight tally of the electrons you’ve used so far so you don’t go over the number of electrons in the element you’re working on.

You have to remember how many electrons fit into each subshell (s, p, d, f).

It takes a lot of time, especially when the element has more than 20 electrons.
