Electron structure

?
  • 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…
