Shell Designations

Orbital shells are designated outwards from the nucleus

what are the shell designations?

KLMNOP And Q

Electron Configuration

Describes how many orbital shells are present and how electrons are arranged in energy levels.

Binding Energy

The energy required to remove an electron from its shell/atom(keep shell in place)

what is another name for binding energy?

Energy level

Orbital Forces

Two opposing forces maintain orbital stability

what are the two optical forces?

centripetal and centrifugal force

Centripetal Force

Inward attractive force keeping electrons bound in orbit

Centrifugal Force

Outward force that would cause an electron to be flung out.

Orbital Motion

Electrons continuously move and spin around the nucleus in designated paths called shells or orbits (orbital paths)
