An orbit can also be called an energy level, which can be found in an atom. When an atom is 'excited', its electrons move up energy levels, changing it's shape from an S-cloud (circular) to a P-cloud (hourglass). Then, the electrons settle and go bake to their natural state.
An 'S' level can hold 2 electrons
A 'P' level can hold 6 electrons
A 'D' level can hold 10 electrons
and an 'F' electron can hold 14 electrons

What is conjucation?
In organic chemistry, hyperconjugation is the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty (or partially filled) non-bonding p-orbital, antibonding σ or π orbital, or filled π orbital, to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.this info is taken by wikipedia
What is a pi bond?
In chemistry, pi bonds (π bonds) are covalent chemical bonds where two lobes of one involved electron orbital overlap two lobes of the other involved electron orbital. Only one of the orbital's nodal planes passes through both of the involved nuclei.
What is a shell in chemistry?
Shell or energy level corresponds to the shell in which the electrons are present.
What is d orbital?
The d orbital is the orbital that only applies to the 3rd orbital and up and it contains 10 electrons.
The 3s orbital differs from 2s orbital in that it is?
The 2s orbital and 3s orbital both have the same spherical shape and can hold a maximum of two electrons of opposite spin. They only differ because the 3s orbital is further out from the nucleus than the 2s orbital, thus the 3s orbital has a higher energy value.
What is shell in chemistry?
electron level or orbital
What is the orbital notation for barium?
chemistry is for lops
What does the chemistry acronym ABO mean?
Antibonding Bond Orbital
How are atomic and molecular orbitals related?
"just as an atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole" -prentice hall chemistry
What does the s stand for in chemistry like 1s2s?
It stand for sphere shaped orbital which can house two electrons

Why did Robert S. Mulliken win The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1966?
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1966 was awarded to Robert S. Mulliken for his fundamental work concerning chemical bonds and the electronic structure of molecules by the molecular orbital method.
Does phosphorus have access to a d orbital?
Yes, phosphorous (and sulfur) have access to a d orbital. It's a bit weird (as is most chemistry), in the ground state phosphorous does not have any d orbital electrons, however, d orbital hybridization is used to explain why phosphorous can form more than the "octet" number of bonds, such as PCl5. This d orbital is also used when describing phosphorous as a pi-acceptor ligand, and the reason it can be considered a pi-acceptor ligand is because it does have access to that d orbital, which can accept the metal's e- density. Hope that helped.
