The order in which atomic orbitals are filled is based on what factor?

It is based on many factors, but the easiest to understand is ENERGY. The orbitals in which the electron has the lowest energy are filled FIRST.


Electrons move around the nucleus in paths called what?

Orbitals. Not to be confused with orbits. They don't actually move in 'paths' either. Due to their nature, you cannot determine the exact location of an electron and still know where it will be next. (See "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle") Orbitals actually are mathematical functions which describe the probability of finding an electron in a given space.


Where do the electron go in an atom?

Into the orbitals.


How do you determine electron configuration?

In general, you use the Aufbau Principle which indicates the order in which the shells and orbitals are filled. You just have to learn it and then you can determine the electron configuration of the elements.


What is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud?

The electron configuration of an atom is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. This is an indication of the different orbitals that are occupied by electrons in the atom.


The electron cloud is divided into what?

The electron cloud is divided into s, p, d, and f orbitals. These orbitals also occur at different principle energy levels.


Electrons are organized in a series of what around the nucleus of an atom?

Electron shells, orbitals, and sub-orbitals.


About the electron configuration?

Electron configuration for an atom is the distribution of electrons on atomic orbitals.


What do you call a collection of electron orbitals within an atom?

It is called an electron shell.
