WHAT IS ORBIT and ORBITAL? IS IT ENOUGH TO KNOW
ORBITAL CONCEPT TO UNDERSTAND ORBITALS?
An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space
takes around another one.
Many planets have moons that orbit them.

orbit-58.html
A simple view of the atom looks similar and you may have
pictured the electrons as orbiting around the nucleus. The
truth is different, and electrons in fact inhabit regions of
space known as orbitals.
Orbits and orbitals sound similar, but they have quite different
meanings. It is essential that you understand the difference
between them. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/properties/atomorbs.html

To plot a path for something you need to know exactly where
the object is and be able to work out exactly where it's going to
be an instant later. You can't do this for electrons.
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle says - loosely - that
you can't know with certainty both where an electron is and
where it's going next.
similar in structure to the solar system, but with attraction
provided by electrostatic forces rather than gravity.

Bohr's Model of the Atom
Bohr's model:
- electrons around the nucleus
-each orbital can hold a specific maximum
number of electrons
- electrons fill orbitals closest to the nucleus
first.

The orbital occupied by the hydrogen electron is called
a 1s orbital. The "1" represents the fact that the orbital
is in the energy level closest to the nucleus.
The "s" tells you about the shape of the orbital.
You keep on doing this over and over again, and gradually build up a
sort of 3D map of the places that the electron is likely to be found.
95% of the time (or any other percentage you choose), the electron will
be found within a fairly easily defined region of space quite close to the
nucleus. Such a region of space is called an orbital. You can think of
an orbital as being the region of space in which the electron lives.

Not all electrons inhabit s
orbitals (in fact, very few
electrons live in s orbitals). At
the first energy level, the only
orbital available to electrons is
the 1s orbital, but at the second
level, as well as a 2s orbital,
there are also orbitals called 2p
orbitals.

d and f orbitals
In addition to s and p orbitals, there are two other sets of
orbitals which become available for electrons to inhabit at
higher energy levels. At the third level, there is a set of
five d orbitals (with complicated shapes and names) as
well as the 3s and 3p orbitals

Energies of Orbitals—Hydrogen
• For a one-electron
hydrogen atom,
orbitals on the same
energy level have
the same energy.
• Chemists call them
degenerate orbitals.

Energies of Orbitals—
Many-electron Atoms
• As the number of electrons
increases, so does the
repulsion between them.
• Therefore, in atoms with
more than one electron, not
all orbitals on the same
energy level are degenerate.
• Orbital sets in the same
sublevel are still degenerate.
• Energy levels start to overlap
in energy (e.g., 4s is lower
in energy than 3d.) Electronic

Hund’s Rule
• It only applies where the
orbitals have exactly the
same energies (as with p
orbitals, for example), and
helps to minimise the
repulsions between
electrons and so makes the
atom more stable.
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/properties/atomorbs.html
Notice that the s orbital always has a slightly lower energy than the p orbitals at the same energy level, so
the s orbital always fills with electrons before the corresponding p orbitals.
The real oddity is the position of the 3d orbitals. They are at a slightly higher level than the 4s - and so it is
the 4s orbital which you fill first, followed by all the 3d orbitals and then the 4p orbitals.
Similar confusion occurs at higher levels, with so much overlap between the energy levels that you don't
fill the 4f orbitals until after the 6s, for example.

Condensed Electron Configurations
• Elements in the same group of the periodic table
have the same number of electrons in the outer most
shell. These are the valence electrons (değerlik
elektronları). These are the electrons that are
transferred or shared when atoms bond together.
• The filled inner shell electrons are called core
electrons. These include completely filled d or f
sublevels.
• We write a shortened version of an electron
configuration using brackets around a noble gas
symbol and listing only valence electrons.

Periodic Table
• We fill orbitals in increasing order of energy.
• Different blocks on the periodic table correspond to
different types of orbitals: s = blue, p = pink (s and p
are representative elements); d = orange (transition
elements); f = tan (lanthanides and actinides, or
inner transition elements)

occur when there
are enough
electrons to half-fill
s and d orbitals on
a given row.

Chromium as an Anomaly
• For instance, the electron configuration
for chromium is
[Ar] 4s1 3d5
rather than the expected
[Ar] 4s2 3d4.
• This occurs because the 4s and 3d
orbitals are very close in energy.
• These anomalies occur in f-block atoms
with f and d orbitals, as well. Electronic
