Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Theory was from the Bohr Theory- the theory explains the electron is a particle that must be in orbital in the atom.
            - Orbitals are areas in 3D space where the electrons are.
            - Photons are produced when high energy nodes are change to lower energy nodes.
Quantum Mechanics explains the properties of atoms by treating the electron as a wave and quantizing its energy.

There are 4 types of orbitals: S orbitals, P orbitals, D orbitals and F orbitals.

S Orbitals:
- S orbitals are shaped like a sphere.
- Each orbitals hold 2 electrons.
- Located on the far left side of the periodic table.

P Orbitals:
- P orbitals are shaped like footballs
- Each orbitals contain 2 electrons
       - Have 3 suborbitals
       - Total electrons are 6
- Located on the far right side of the periodic table

D Orbitals:
- D orbitals are shaped like doughnuts
- Each orbitals contain 2 electrons
       - Have 5 suborbitals
       - Total electrons are 10
- Located in the middle of the periodic table

F Orbitals:
- F orbitals are shaped like
- Each orbitals contain 2 electrons
       - Have 7 suborbitals
       -  Total electrons are 14
- Located on the bottom of the periodic table
