Orbital Diagrams

Today we stamped and went over the homework on page 9. We also were assigned tape dispencer numbers. Next we took notes on orbital diagrams. We learned that orbitals are expressed by using a box and each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. 

                             Number of Electrons                Number of Orbital Boxes

s                                max. of 2e-                                         1

p                                max. of 6e-                                         3

d                                max. of 10e-                                       5

f                                 max of 14e-                                        7

• The up arorows in the boxes indicate electrons

• The up down arrows indicate e- with opposite spins

• Fill e- in the box individually first then double up

Homework was to finish page 10 and 11, work on Webassings and ChemThink. Test on Friday.
