electron structure Flashcards
which shells have which sub shell
1 has s
2 has s and p
3 has s p and d
4 has s p d and f
formula for the number of electrons in each shell
2n^2
what are orbitals
region around the nucleus that can hold 2 electrons with opposite spins
what is the shape of a s orbital
sphere
the grgester the shell number the greater the radius
shape of p orbital
dumbbells
how many orbitals and electrons does each orbital have
s has 1 orbital and 2 electrons
p has 3 orbitals and 6 electrons
d has 5 orbitals and 10 electrons
f has 7 orbitals and 14 electrons
how do atoms fill up with electrons
in sub shells in order of increasing energy
what are the 2 rules for all orbitals with the same energy
electrons wont pair in the same orbital if they dont have to
electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins to avoid repulsion
