Atomic Orbitals and Orbital Shapes Video

August 20, 2012 By Leah4sci 7 Comments

Atomic Orbitals and Atomic Shapes Orgo Video Leah FischIntro to Orgo Series: Video 3
This tutorial video is designed to help new and incoming organic chemistry students build a solid foundation for organic chemistry
Topics discussed include an overview of the atomic orbitals including their shapes, sub-orbitals, and the number of electrons found in each. The orbitals are also related to their placement on the table leading into the topic of electron configurations.

    So is there more than one S orbital? S is the configuration, or shape, of the orbital, and 2s envelops 1s, 1p, 1f, and 1d?

      There is the potential for ‘s’ at every principle energy level. Watch my quantum numbers video series to learn about possible orbitals per level https://leah4sci.com/mcat/mcat-chemistry/

    why is electron not counted in mass.
    why doesn,t it have weight

      An electron weighs about 2000 times less than a proton, and so the weight is near zero in comparison
