Define energy levels
Electron shells, fixed distances from the nucleus where electrons may be found.
What are Atomic orbitals
regions around the nucleus that can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spin.
What shape is the S orbital
Spherical
Name the different types of orbitals
s, p, d, f
What shape are p orbitals
Dumbell shaped at right angle to each other
Each shell contains how many s orbitals

Are electron spin opposite or the same for an orbital
Opposite
What direction are electron spins
up and down
