On friday, we learned about Quantum Mechanics!
The Quantum theory is that electrons are like a cloud of negative energy or a wave.
Orbitals are areas in 3d space where electrons are most likely there.
The energy of the electron is in its vibrational modes like notes on a guitar or a slinky!
Photons are produced when high energy modes change to lower energy modes.
S orbitals
each orbital holds 2 electrons.
P orbitals
There are 3 suborbitals
each contrain 2 electrons
total electrons is 6
D orbitals
there are 5 suborbitals
each contain 2 electrons
total electrons is 10
F orbitals
there are 7 suborbitals
each contain 2 electrons
total electrons is 14
