Electron Configuration

Today we got to color in class! We did this in order to show the different sections on the periodic table. These sections include s,p,d, and f. The s sublevel holds 1 orbital and can contain 2 electrons, the p sublevel holds 3 orbitals which each orbital can contain 6 electrons, the d subshell holds 5 orbitals and can contain 10 electrons, and lastly the f subshell holds 7 orbitals and can contain 14 electrons. These different subshells help to determine an elements electron configuration which helps to locate it on the periodic table.
