Atomic Orbitals and Orbital Shapes

Показать описание


This video discusses the size and shapes of atomic orbitals, focusing on the s orbital and p orbital, including sub-orbitals and the number of electrons.

The Intro to Orgo series is designed to help incoming organic chemistry students refresh the concepts learned, and perhaps forgotten, from general chemistry.
In this 14 part series I will cover all the basics to help you build a very solid foundation that will help you understand the exciting yet difficult topic that is organic chemistry

Hello again, more questions!

At 1:33, you draw a 1s orbital that holds two electrons. You then want to demonstrate that a 2s-orbital is further away from the nucleus by surrounding your original 1s orbital with an unrelated 2s orbital. My question is, will an element such as lithim, with a principle energy level of 2, have TWO s-type orbitals almost like how you've drawn, OR, just the one big s-type orbital as the closer orbital expands to the bigger one?

This was fantastic, your videos are my go to's when trying to understand organic chem. Thanks so much!

Also, at 0:46, you say n is the horizontal periods of the periodic table as you move from left to right. Aren't the periods the (vertical) rows of the periodic table, going from top to bottom from 1 to 7?

woaaahhh!!! 4:19!! i've always wondered how orbitals get added up one on another!! this makes so much sense!!! XD you are the best thank you!!
