define mass number
number of protons + number of neutrons
define atomic number
number of protons
what is the principle quantum number
energy levels are identified by a number, the larger the number of n the further away from the nucleus and higher the energy level it is
what do each shell contain
atomic orbitals
define wave particle duality
electrons can behave like a wave or particle
4 types of orbitals
s p d f
features of s orbital
spherical. holds 2 electrons max
features of p orbital
3d dumbbell shape 6 electrons max
define subshells
a group of the same type of orbital with a shell
(Each new shell gains a new type of sub shell)
max electrons s subshell can hold
