- Two different models can be used to describe electron configuration: Energy level model and Bohr model
- Electrons occupy or orbitals:
- 2e in the first orbital
- 8e in the second orbital
- 8e in the third orbital
All of these orbitals combined are called an octet
Orbital Shapes:
- Atomic orbitals each have a specific name and shape.
Hybridized Orbitals:
- The first of the Bohr levels is the 1s-orbital and it holds 2e-
- The second level contains 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz orbitals. They combine (hybridize) to form 2sp3 orbital
