Orbital Notation

This is the part of a series on the atom. It demonstrates orbital notation, describes the rules that govern how to write orbital notation (the Pauli Exclusion Principle, the Aufbau Principle, and Hund’s Rule), and describes how to write the orbital notation for the elements on the periodic table. This video is intended to help students understand chemistry or to help teachers who are trying to flip their chemistry classroom.

This video is part of a larger playlist that can be found here:    • Science and Measurement  

The video refers to electron configuration. A tutorial about electron configuration can be found here:
