25
Maximum number of electrons that can occupy an orbital
2 electrons
26
This is the final location where electrons reside
Orbitals
27
Number of orbitals each sublevel has
s sublevel: 1 orbital p sublevel: 3 orbitals d sublevel: 5 orbitals f sublevel: 7 orbitals
28
Summarize the terms related to where the electrons orbit
Electrons orbit the nucleus in circles called energy levels (n). Inside the energy levels are sublevels (s,p,d,f). Inside the sublevels are orbitals.
29
Electrons fill the orbitals according to a pattern called ---
Electron configuration
30
Rules for filling the orbitals
1. Start with the lowest energy level, “n.” 2. Choose the lowest sublevel s, p, d, or f. 3. Fill the orbital with a max of 2 electrons 4. Before a second electron can be placed in any orbital, all the sublevels must contain at least one electron.
