The video tutorial explains how to write the atomic orbital diagram for aluminum. It begins with determining the electron configuration by identifying aluminum's atomic number and electron count. The tutorial then guides viewers through the process of writing the electron configuration by following the periodic table's pattern. Finally, it demonstrates how to convert the electron configuration into an orbital diagram, illustrating the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an aluminum atom.
