Filling Electron Orbitals
Orbitals are the area in space where electrons are found Each individual orbital holds 2 electrons
There are four main shapes which hold a different number of electrons
Shapes of Orbitals
The four shapes are s, p, d, and f
Shapes of the Orbitals
Each shape holds a different number of orbitals s has 1 orbital, p has 3 orbitals, and d has 5 orbitals

Energy Levels Each period
is a new energy level Like an
elevator, electrons cannot exist between energy levels!
General Rules
Aufbau Principle – Electrons fill lowest energy level first Analogy: Lazy Tenant Rule
General Rules
Pauli Exclusion Principle – Electrons must have opposite spin (up/down) when in the same orbital
Analogy: Yin and Yang Rule
General Rules
Hund’s Rule – Electrons in equal energy orbits fill orbitals with parallel spin Analogy: Empty Bus Seat Rule
