I forgot to check back here, Mel, but I do wonder if anyone can really understand orbitals. We've passed it now, but they still confuse me!!!!

Orbitals! I learned those..... Theres this cool thing where you can cut your periodic table up, and then it all makes sense.....

You mean with the numbers assigned to the columns and rows, Zi?

I remember a little about the orbitals. The current periodic table is formed based on the orbitals.
It goes s,p,d,f, doesn't it? I'm remembering the order from a while ago...
The far left column only has one s electron in the outer orbital, and the second column has two s electrons. They're very reactive.
The noble gases have a full p outer orbital. They don't generally react at all.
Am I getting it right?

I think that's right, Idiot. Thanx, you guys. I was wondering what that crap was...
