The letters stand for different sublevels of electron orbitals within an atom: s (sharp), p (principal), d (diffuse), and f (fundamental). These letters help to organize the orbitals by their shape and energy levels.

Why do individual electron orbitals look the way that they do?

Individual electron orbitals are described by mathematical equations that represent the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the nucleus. The shapes of the orbitals result from the wave nature of electrons and their interactions with the nucleus and other electrons, leading to stable and energetically favorable distributions of electron density. Each orbital shape reflects the geometry of the electron distribution that minimizes repulsions and maximizes stability.
