What is Quantum Mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small: the body of scientific principles that explains the behavior of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.
What is an Orbital?
A volume in space in which an electron or electron pair is found.
What are Sub-Levels?
Atomic Orbitals of same type.
What are Shells?
Groups of Sub-Levels with same number designation.
What is the 1s Orbital?
Spherical volume in which the two electrons of lowest energy in any atom reside.
What is the 2s Orbital?
Spherical volume outside 1s orbital: holds two electrons.
What is the highest Energy Level?
f is the highest Energy Level.
