Learn the basics about Drawing electron configuration diagrams.
Professor Dave Explains
Quantum Numbers, Atomic Orbitals, and Electron Configurations
Orbitals! Oh no. They're so weird. Don't worry, nobody understands these in first-year chemistry. You just pretend to, and then in second-year you learn them a little better, the following year a little better, and once you have a PhD...
Professor Dave Explains
Pseudo Noble Gas Electron Configurations
We've learned about electron configurations, and also about how this plays into ionization, given that elements will tend to ionize in such a way so as to achieve noble gas electron configuration. But certain transition metals will seek...

Octet Rule
This video uses animation and introduces Lewis Structures to demonstrate stable and unstable electron configurations to explain the octet rule. The program shows viewers how they can use the periodic table to understand the octet rule....
Khan Academy
Shells, Subshells, and Orbitals
A more detailed description and definition of orbitals, and the role they play in the atomic world, are the focus of this video. The "P Orbitals" are described by taking a close look at the carbon element's properties. The periodic table...

Atomic Structure
The Rutheford plum pudding model of an atom, as well as the nuclear model, are the subject of a video that also includes an explanation of protons, neutrons, electrons, nucleus, atomic mass, atomic charge, and ions.
Crash Course
Orbitals
What do molecules look like anyway? A video explores the orbitals of molecules that determine their shape, including S and p orbitals and their hybridization. It also introduces sigma and pi bonds so learners can fully grasp the...
Crash Course
The Electron
Electrons don't really exist as particles in an atom, but more as waves which move at different frequencies. Explore electron configurations through learning about their shells and orbitals and how this relates to the periodicity of the...
