New cards

atomic orbitals

  • a series of calculations are used to approximate the volume and time in which the electron can be located.

  • grouped into subshells.

  • this field of study is called quantum mechanics.

atomic subshells

New cards

s subshell

  • Spherical shape

  • There is one S orbital in an s subshell.  The electrons can be located anywhere within the sphere centered at the atom’s nucleus.

4
New cards

p orbitals

  • Shaped like two balloons tied together

  • There are 3 orbitals in a p subshell that are denoted as px, py, and pz orbitals. These are higher in energy than the corresponding s orbitals.
