6
New cards

shape of p orbital

figure of 8

7
New cards

Why do orbitals fill singularly first

so that there’s less repulsion

8
New cards

What are the exceptions?

Chromium and copper atoms only fill 4s subshell to 1 and then adds the extra electron to 3d

9
New cards

What do the blocks in the periodic table show

which orbital the valence electrons are in

10
New cards

What to remember when writing ion electron configuration?

4s orbitals fills and then empties before 3d orbitals
