Meaning
An electron orbital, also known as an electron shell, are the locations where electrons orbit the nucleus of atoms.
About Electron Orbitals
- Each electron orbital only holds a certain number of electrons.
- These orbitals and the number of electrons in an atom determine the chemistry of an element.
- The number of electron orbitals determines the Period on the Periodic Table.
- The number of electrons in the last orbital (Outer Shell) determines the Group on the Periodic Table.
