Orbitals Chemistry (s, p, d, and f Orbital) - Atomic Orbitals are of four different kinds, denoted s, p, d, and f, each with a different shape. Of the four, we'll be concerned primarily with s and p orbitals because these are the most common in organic c
Topics discussed include an overview of the atomic orbitals including their shapes, sub-orbitals, and the number of electrons found in each. The orbitals are also related to their placement on the table leading into the topic of electron configurations. (Watch on YouTube:Orbital & Shapes. Click...

The atomic orbitals differ in shape. That is, the electrons they describe have different probability distributions around the nucleus. Indeed, a part of the reason why orbitals differ in energy is that the electrons that occupy them are likely to be found in different regions around the parent ...
