How To write an electron configuration: Determine the total number of electrons to be represented. Use the Aufbau process to fill the orbitals with electrons. The Aufbau process requires that electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first. In another words, atoms are built from the ground upwards.
All orbitals in a subshell have similar features in their shapes, even if the shapes themselves are not identical. There are four types of subshells and they are labeled s, p, d and f. The “s” type of orbital is spherical in shape. The “p” type of orbital looks like an 8. You should remember these two shapes.
The four different types of orbitals (s,p,d, and f) have different shapes, and one orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. The p, d, and f orbitals have different sublevels, thus can hold more electrons. As stated, the electron configuration of each element is unique to its position on the periodic table.

18 Οκτ 2024 · Representation of orbitals (the dot represents the nucleus of the atom) showing spherical s orbitals (a), p orbitals containing ‘lobes’ along the x, y and z axis. Note that the shape of the d orbitals is not required. An overview of the shells, subshells and orbitals in an atom.
Answer: Orbitals are the regions of space in which electrons are most likely to be found. Explanation: Each orbital is denoted by a number and a letter. The number denotes the energy level of the electron in the orbital. Thus 1 refers to the energy level closest to the nucleus; 2 refers to the next energy level further out, and so on.
When atoms bond to form molecules, they use molecular orbitals. These are formed through the hybridization of the atomic orbitals that we have already discussed, s, p, and d orbitals. The hybridized molecular orbitals have different shapes and energy levels than the atomic orbitals.
