Sub shell Flashcards
What are the 4 types of sub shells?
s
p
d
f
How many orbitals does the s sub shell contain?
1 orbital called the s orbital
What is the s orbital?
An electron cloud within the shape of a sphere
The greater the shell number, the greater the radius of what orbital?
S orbital
What is p orbital?
An electron cloud help within a dumb-bell shape
How many orbitals does the p sub shell contain?
3 orbitals
How many orbitals does the d sub shell have?
5 orbitals
How many orbitals does the f sub shell have?
7 orbitals
What sub levels are a part of the first energy shell?
S sub level
What sub levels are a part of the second energy shell?
S and p sub levels
What sub levels are a part of the third energy shell?
S, p and d sub levels
What sub levels are a part of the fourth energy shell?
S, p, d and f sub levels
What is the maximum occupancy of each sub shell dependent on?
How many orbitals are present
What do all the electron spin on and what directions?
An axis
Either clockwise or anti-clockwise
