Does anyone know how to do orbital notation? I'm so :confused:

Isn't that math? IF you haven't posted you question in the math thread, then you may want to do that. Sorry I'm not sure what it is. Good luck eh.XD
Do you mean electron configuration - what are you having trouble with?
For orbital notation you need to describe the actual orbitals and how many electrons are in them, i suppose, for example
etc.
Have you been tauight how to do that?
Well, the number in front is the electron configuration level, so 1s2 is the inner most ring, 2s2 and 2p6 make up the second ring etc. the letter is just the type of orbital, they have different energies and you really just have to remember the letters. The number after the letter (and superscript) is the number of electrons in this level.
You should commit to memory how to construct a table like the folowing:

This describes the order that the orbitals fill up (approximately). You basically just keep filling up the levels (following the arrows) until you run out electrons. Does that help, do you still have questions?
etc.
what do you call this?(i have the same problem with sunni_hubbard:D)
Orbital notation, I guess. I'm not sure of the exact name.
Perhaps detailed electronic configuration... well in the OP's question, it was orbital notation.
I have another way to look at that, it's more 'linear'.

This is amazzzinggg!! Thank you!!
Sorry Sunni Hubbard neither do I but here is a little more help with electron configuration
The coefficient tells what electron shell it is and also tells what row it is
The letter tells what subshell it is or column
The superscript tells how many electrons it holds
Back to letters, the letter "columns" are for the most part s,p,d and f in that order
S holds 2 p 6 d 10 and f 14
To create a configuration, first find how many valence electrons, shells, and electrons it has
Then mark the columns and last shell
At the top the first row holds up to s 2nd up to p 3rd and farther f
Now keep filling up the shells and count the electrons you used
You may need to tweek what you did but once you have the number of electrons it is finished
Sorry third to d
Do you mean creating a diagram of the atom focusing on the electrons by drawing circles as shells and putting in circles as electrons, Ive done that before
