Bohr Theory
-electrons are particles that must be in the orbital of an atom
-Quantum Theory
-an electron is like a cloud of negative energy/wave
-orbitals are areas in a 3D space where the electrons most probably are
-energy of the electron is in its vibrational modes
-photons are produced when high energy modes change to lower energy modes

1. S orbitals
   - hold 2 electrons 
2. P orbitals
   -have 3 suborbitals
   -each contain 2 electrons
   -total electrons = 6  
3. D orbitals
   -have 5 suborbitals
   -each contain 2 electrons
   -total electrons = 10
4. F orbitals
   -have 7 suborbitals
   -each contrain 2 electrons
   -total electrons = 14
