A tutorial which helps students write a complete electron configuration for an uncharged atom.

This lesson will explain that electrons are negatively charged particles with negligible mass and are found in pairs in orbitals surrounding the nucleus of an atom. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Subatomic Particles: The Electron."

Presents examples of molecules that do not match the expected bond angles in the Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Model. Requires Java.

Good site for viewing atomic orbitals. Click on an energy level and you get a simulated three dimensional image of the orbitals.

Provides good objectives to go along with a text discussion of hybridization. Complete with illustrations, charts, and graphics.

Electron orbitals. Diagonal rule. Dot diagrams. The periodic table. There's so much to know about the tiniest building blocks of life- atoms. [4:41]

This slide show on atomic bonds contains several slides on electron affinity. Other topics include covalent, Sigma and Pi bonds, and atomic bonding in solids.

Explains what the electron shielding effect is, how to calculate the amount of nuclear charge in an atom, how to use the number of orbitals to find the number of electrons in an atom, and Slater's method of calculating the shielding...

This article from the Florida State University contains information on multiple bonds and orbitals. Great charts and pictures are shown to help the educational process. Definitely a great site to check out on the subject.

Good introduction and graphics make this a solid page for understanding the orbital role in bonding and molecular geometry. The author is a professor at Florida State University.

This lab is designed to allow students to look at the connection between the gap between two energy levels and the frequency of the light that is given off when an electron traverses this gap.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explores electrons and their place in atoms.

Solutions to the Schrodinger wave equation give four types of atomic orbitals. Explanation of how quantum numbers specify these orbitals.

This lesson will point out the difference between electron pairs and unpaired electrons in an atom using orbital diagrams. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Paired and Unpaired Electrons."

This lesson will demonstrate how to write the electron configurations for any element given its location on the periodic table. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Writing Electron Configurations."

Explains what the electron model is and the scientists who contributed to its development.

Acting as a subtopic of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook's section on Atoms and the Periodic Table, this site discusses quantum numbers of electrons in atoms including topics such as principal quantum number and orbitals of the...

View the approximate locations of electrons in valence shells 1s through 4f.

Acting as part of an overview on quantum theory, this section of the site deals with electrons and orbitals. In addition to explain what an orbital is, the site explains the movement of the electron in relation to the nucleus.

Valence electrons are defined in terms of electron configuration.
