Atomic Orbitals and electronic configurations

Atomic Orbitals

An orbital subdivision of a subshell. A region of space around the nucleus of an atom where there is maximum probability of finding an electron
The following video explains the above concept extremely well:



Electronic configurations

  • Not more than two electrons to be placed in one orbital
  • If two or more electrons are to be placed in one orbital they must be placed with opposite spin to minimize repulsion
