Introduction
Electrons revolve around the nucleus in orbits. The distance from the center is based on some particular rules.
Pre-Requisites:
Models of atom, electrons, protons, neutrons
Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| orbit number or energy level index | The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n^2 , where ‘n’ is the orbit number or energy level index |
| K,L,M Shells | Nomenclature used to name the orbits, K being the innermost one |
