Tips and Tricks on Atomic Structure

Tip #1
Only s & p electrons count as Valence Electrons

Tip #2

Tip #3
An orbital can hold only two Electrons

Tip #4

Tip #5

Tip #6

Tip #7

Tip #8
Since n cannot be equal to 1, so orbitals 1p, 2d, 3f, 4g do
not exist.

Tip #9

Tip #10

Tip #11

Tip #12
In case of H-atom (Hydrogenic species) energy depends
only upon n-value so 1s<2s=2p<3s=3p=3d

Tip #13

Tip #14
Limitation of de-Broglie concept is that it can be applied
only on objects having force free environment it means
not applicable for any electrons present in atom.
