What does all of that mean? need a lot of explanation because this is complicated.

It's the electron configuration chart.
1-8 determines the energy level of the atom and the s p d and f are the orbits that they are located in. Each orbit will have a certain number of electrons in it as well.
S orbit can only hold a max of 2
P orbit can only hold a max of 6
D orbit can only hold a max of 10
F orbit can only hold a max of 14
The number of electrons is determined by the atomic number of your atom. For example, Ca
1s^2
2s^2 2p^6
3s^2 3p^6
4s^2
When you use that chart write it like I have and when you start going through those levels you have to go diagonal thru them because you'll eventually get to the d orbit which lags one behind.
