New cards

Electron shells are made up of Sub-Shells and Orbitals

Further away from nucleus have more energy.

4 sub-shells, S, P, D ,F.

2
New cards

S orbital

Number of orbitals is 1. Max number of electrons is 2×1 = 2

3
New cards

P orbital

Number of orbitals is 3. Max number of electrons is 3×2 = 6

4
New cards

D orbital

Number of orbitals is 5. Max number of electrons is 5×2 = 10

5
New cards

F orbital

Number of orbitals is 7. Max number of electrons is 7×2 = 14

6
New cards

Orbitals have characteristic shapes

If there are two electrons in an orbital, they have to spin in opposite directions, called spin-pairing. S orbitals are spherical. P are dumbbell shaped. Three types of p orbital shapes all at right angles to each other.
