Sub-levels = Specific
Atomic Orbitals
Each energy level has 1 or more
sub-levels which describe the
specific atomic orbitals for that
level.
S orbitals
1 s orbital for
every energy level
Spherical shaped
Each s orbital can hold
2 electrons
Called the 1s, 2s, 3s,
etc.. orbitals
1s2s
3s
P orbitals
Start at the second energy level
3 different directions
3 different shapes
Each orbital can hold 2 electrons

Electron Configurations
What do I mean by electron
configuration?
The electron configuration is the
specific way in which the atomic
orbitals are filled.
Think of it as being similar to your
address. The electron configuration
tells me where all the electrons
live.
