The statement that is NOT TRUE about electron configurations is:
**"it shows how electrons have different charges."**
Electron configurations describe the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, but all electrons have a negative charge. They do not have different charges; rather, they have the same fundamental charge. The other statements about electron configurations are accurate.
