  • ORBITAL
    • a region around the nucleus that can hold up to two electrons with opposite spins.
      • there are four different types of orbitals
        • S-ORBITALS
          • within the shape of a sphere
          • each shell from n=1 contains one s-orbital
        • F-ORBITALS
          • each shell from n=4 contains 7 f-orbitals
        • D-ORBITALS
          • each shell from n=3 contains 5 d-orbitals
        • P-ORBITALS
          • each shell from n=2 contains two p-orbitals
    • within a shell, orbitals of the same type are grouped together in sub-shells
      • The 3d sub-shell is at a higher energy level than the 4s sub-shell and the 4s sub-shell fills before the 3d sub shell.
        • orbitals fill in order of increasing energy
          • ELECTRON CONFIGURA-TION
    • orbitals fill in order of increasing energy
      • ELECTRON CONFIGURA-TION
