Ok, I'm trying to understand the orbitals and shells and here is what I have gotten. An electron has 7 shells that contain orbitals witch contain electrons. There are 7 shells K, L M, N ,O P , Q there are also four different orbitals S, P , D , F The K shell holds 1S orbital The L shell holds 1S and 3P orbitals The M shell holds 1S 3P and 5D orbitals the N shell holds 1S 3P 5D and 7F orbitals. Ok, that I get now what about shells O,P and Q? What orbitals to they hold?
