Atomic Structure and Periodicity · Atomic Structure

Electronic Configuration and Orbitals

Mapping the distribution of electrons in s, p, and d orbitals using quantum mechanics principles.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the shape of an orbital influence the probability of finding an electron?
  2. 2What evidence do we have for the existence of discrete energy levels within an atom?
  3. 3Why do electrons fill orbitals singly before pairing up?
