Sub shells and Orbitals Flashcards
What shape does an S subshell have?
spherical
What shape does a P subshell have?
Star shape with elliptical shaped orbitals
How many orbitals does an S subshell have?
one
How many orbitals does a P subshell have?
three
How many different subshells are there and what are there symbols?
there are four: S,P,D, and F
How many different orbitals does a D subshell have?
five
How many different orbitals does an F subshell have?
seven
How many electrons can one orbital hold?
two
when paired, do electrons have to have different spins?
Yes. Up and Down
how many electrons fit into the first energy shell?
two
How many electrons fit into the second energy shell?
eight
How many electrons fit into the third energy shell?
eight
How many electrons fit into the fourth energy shell?
18
How many electrons fit into the fifth energy shell?
18
How many electrons fit into the sixth energy shell?
32
How can you determine how many electrons will fit into a particular energy shell?
Count the Rows and then count the number of elements in that row
how does the atomic radius vary depending on it’s location on the periodic table?
The atomic radius decreases from left to right across rows
The atomic radius increases from top to bottom across the group
*the atomic radius decreases as electrons fill energy shells
*the atomic radius increases as additional energy shells are added that are not filled
