Atomic orbitals

Hovering the mouse over the periodic table showed how the electrons of each element are arranged in their atomic orbitals; the image shows carbon, with two electrons in the 1s orbital, two in the 2s and two in the 2p.

If you hover the mouse over the periodic table you will see how the electrons of each element are arranged in their atomic orbitals.
