Quantum Numbers as Addresses

A simple way to understand quantum numbers

The Schrodinger Wave Equation

gives a 3D distribution map for the probable position of an electron in an atom

quantum mechanical model

The Schrodinger Wave equation is the basis of the _______ __________ _____ of the atom.

Bohr model

Electrons are not confined to circular orbits as populated by the ____ _____ but can be found nearly anywhere in a spherical space around the nucleus.

greater

The probability of finding an electron in some regions around the nucleus is much _______ than in other regions.

Electron Orbital

A mathematical function predicting how likely it is to find an electron at any given point in space

two electrons

Each Orbital can hold a maximum of ___ _________.

Subshell

a group of orbitals with the same energy

Four Types of Subshells

s, p, d and f

1

Number of orbitals in the s subshell

3

Number of orbitals in the p subshell

5

Number of orbitals in the d subshell

7

Number of orbitals in the f subshell

double

The maximum electron number in a subshell is gonna be ______ the number of orbitals, due to each Orbital having a maximum of two electrons.

Electron Shell (Principal Energy Level [n[)

a grouping of subshells that may be any positive integer
