Energy Levels: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Orbital Shape: s, p, d, f
Electronic Configuration: Energy level, Type/Shape of orbital, orientation, then spin up or spin down.
Rules for Placing Electrons in Orbital Diagram:
- Aufbau Principle: An electron occupies the lowest orbital it can(Fill from the bottom up)
- Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of 4 quantum numbers.
- Hund's Rule: Orbitals of equal energy are reach occupied by the second electron.
