The Periodic Table of Electron Orbitals

In plain words

The Periodic Table of Electron Orbitals is an interactive educational tool that visualizes the electron orbital configurations of chemical elements. Designed for chemistry students and educators, it displays how electrons are organized in atoms across the periodic table. The resource makes abstract atomic structure concepts more tangible through visual representation, helping learners understand the relationship between an element's position on the periodic table and its electron arrangement.

All software used to generate these graphs and build this site, as well as all the graphs themselves, can be found at https://github.com/liam-ilan/electron-orbitals . Built by Liam Ilan . Note: the following is just a summary. I highly recommend reading this Wikipedia article , and this LibreTexts article . A large amount of the following explanation uses both of these articles as a source. Additionally, this explanation on stack exchange on the difference between real and complex orbitals was extremely useful. Classical models of the atom, such as Bohr's model, model electrons as particles with definitive positions and momenta. This model does not account for various observed wave…from liam-ilan.github.io

  Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
