Atomic orbital: contains up to 2 e-
For atoms with more than one electron
this
is the common spatial part of 2 spin orbitals
Spin orbital: contains
1 e-
y (spin orbital, 1 e- wavefunction)
Specified by four quantum numbers
Principal quantum number n
Angular quantum number l
Magnetic quantum number ml
Spin
quantum number ms = +½ or
-½
Pauli
exclusion principle:
No 2 e- in the same atom can have the same
4 quantum no’s.
