  1. Difference between shells, subshells and orbitals

    Oct 15, 2014 · With orbitals in the context of shells and subshells one usually means atomic orbitals, i.e. two-electron eigenstates of an atom's Hamilton operator which are characterized by the three …

  2. electronic configuration - Check My Beginner's Guide to Shells, Energy ...

    Apr 3, 2020 · I am a beginner trying to summarize what I've learned about: Shells Energy Levels Subshells and Orbitals all at the high school level. Unlike related threads, I'm going to try to: Define …

  3. Fundamental doubts about energy levels vs. shells vs. subshells vs ...

    Jul 27, 2022 · Then I learnt about shells, subshells and orbitals and what they have to do with the quantum numbers n n, l l and ml m l. I'm confused about the difference between energy level and …

  5. What is SPDF configuration? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Recently in my chemistry classes, the teacher spoke about SPDF configuration and then said that we'll be taught about it in higher classes. But I'm sorta curious to know that what is SPDF configu...

  6. Is the d-block ever part of the valence electrons?

    May 30, 2015 · The d-block sub-shell is always one shell lower than the s-block and p-block sub-shells. Assuming only the electrons in the highest energy shells count toward the set of valence electrons (is …

  7. What are the maximum number of electrons in each shell?

    Feb 20, 2014 · Shells and orbitals are not the same. In terms of quantum numbers, electrons in different shells will have different values of principal quantum number n. To answer your question... In the first …

  8. inorganic chemistry - Half-Filled Shells and Stability explanation ...

    Now, I'm confused by this explanation. Is it correct to conclude that if a sub-shell is half filled, the repulsion between electrons in the half-filled subshell and other subshells with fully-filled orbitals is …

  9. Why are full and half filled orbitals the most stable?

    Jun 6, 2016 · Why, in most molecules, are half-filled and fully-filled shells more stable than partially filled shells? I understand that transition metals often promote electrons to their d orbital to make it half …

  10. Why do subshells and orbitals exist? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Jul 27, 2020 · I'm just a curious high school student. Sorry if this sounds dumb. How exactly did the concept of atomic subshells and orbitals come about? And why exactly are there n-1 subshells and …
