Learn about electron orbitals, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, Bohr and Modern models of the atom, orbital diagrams, and energy levels. Discover how electrons fill in atoms with the help of an illustrative summary.
E N D
Orbitals • are the region of most probable location of electrons in an atom • Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle • Impossible to know exact location and momentum of any electron in an atom.
The orbitals in the atom correspond to the blocks of the periodic table
S orbitalspherical fits 2 electrons
P orbitalsdumbbells fit 2 electrons each
D orbitalsClover Leaf fit 2 electrons each

Electron summary • s can hold 2 electrons • p can hold a total of 6 electrons • 2 in each orbital • d can hold a total of 10 electrons • 2 in each orbital
So how many electrons in each energy level? • E level 1 = 2 e- • E level 2 = 8 e- • E level 3 = 18 e- • E level 4 = 32 e- But NEVER more than 8 valence e- because of the order the e- fill!
