Quantum Mechanics

-The difference between the bohr theory and quantum theory
Bohr Theory: the electron is a particle theat must be in orbital in the atom
Quantum Theory: the electron is a cloud of negative charge or a wave function



S orbital - each orbital holds 2 electrons
P orbital - 3 suborbitals: contain 2 electrons each
D orbital - 5 suborbitals: contain 2 electrons each
F orbital - 7 suborbitals: contain 2 electrons each
