The Electron Structure of the Atom The quantum model emphasizes the wave nature of electrons. The Quantum Model Quantum numbers are solutions to the wave equations of electrons. Scientists use a set of 4 quantum numbers to determine an electron?s location around an atom. Quantum Numbers Electrons exist in principal energy levels that correspond to Bohr?s orbits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ? Principal energy levels are divided into 4 types of sublevels: s, p, d, and f. Where are the Electrons? The sublevels contain orbitals. Each orbital can hold up to two electrons. Where are the Electrons? Identifies the principal energy level Correlates to Bohr?s orbits n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 for the ground state e?. The total number of e? in a level is 2n2. Principal Quantum Number (n) Level Total # e? 1
