Orbital Diagrams

There are lots of ways to represent the electron configuration of an atom.
An orbital diagram provides a lot of information very quickly about how the electrons in an atom are arranged. AUS-e-TUTE has a new set of resources to help you draw and interpret orbital diagrams:

AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in to play the orbital diagrams game, and answer the orbital diagrams test and exam questions (with worked solutions for the questions you answer incorrectly).

Orbits or Orbitals?

Have you ever asked these questions?

• Is an electron a particle or a wave?
• If an electron can be thought of as a wave, what is vibrating to cause the wave? 
• What is Schrödinger's wave equation and why is it important? 
• What is meant by the term "probability density"?
• What is a "charge cloud"? 
• What's the difference between an orbit and an orbital?
• Where do all those funny shapes for orbitals come from?

AUS-e-TUTE has a whole new set of resources to help you arrive at some answers!
AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in to go to the new resources.
