- Shells are regarded as energy levels.
- The energy increases as the shell number increases.
- The shell number or energy level number is called the principle quantum number.
- Shells are made up of atomic orbitals. An atomic orbital is a region around the nucleus that can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spins.
- An orbital can only hold one or two electrons.
- In a s orbital the electron cloud is within the shape of a sphere.
- In a p orbital the elctron cloud is within the shape of a dumb…
