Module 5.2 Orbital Diagram

Question 1

Orbital Diagrams

s _

p _ _ _

d _ _ _ _ _

f _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Answer 1

orbitals are shown as horizontal lines _ for the amount of orbitals in the sub shell

electrons are shown as arrows pointing up or down (good notes)

each available orbital gets one arrow pointing up if there are more electrons needed they go in pointing down

Ex p⁴ = _ _ _ _ (good notes)

Question 2

Orbital Diagrams

Fe

Answer 2

First find electron configuration (previous modules)

Fe = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶

Then write as orbital diagram (good notes)
