What are orbitals?
Regions of space where there is the
highest
probability
of finding an
electron
View source
How many electrons can an orbital
hold?
Up to
2
electrons with
opposite
spins
View source
What are the types of orbitals?
Spherical (
s
)
Dumbbell-shaped + 3 orbitals (
p
)
5 orbitals (
d
)
7 orbitals (
f
)
View source
What is the shape of s
orbitals?

5
orbitals
View source
How many orbitals does the f block have?
7
orbitals
View source
What is the significance of the block an element is in?
Indicates the orbital of its
outer
electron
View source
What is the electron configuration notation for magnesium?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
View source
What does each box in box notation represent?
Each box represents an
orbital
Can hold
2
electrons
Each orbital must be
filled
singularly
before
pairing
up electrons
View source
What does each arrow in box notation represent?
Each arrow represents an
electron
View source
How many electrons can each box hold in box notation?
2
electrons
View source
What is the rule for filling orbitals in box notation?
Each orbital must be
filled
singularly
before
pairing
up
electrons
View source
What is the reason for filling orbitals singularly before pairing?
To reduce
electron
repulsion
View source
