Here is a circuit diagram. what does the line segment with two circles at the ends represent

It's a switch. It's closed so it's an on switch, meaning the circuits closed so the current flows.

High-energy and unstable.

Order of filling levels and sublevels of electrons: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²3f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶for an element with 5 electrons in the 3d energy level: full configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³.
