Helium has one more, so that will also go into the 1s orbital.

Pretty straight forward. The robot does exactly what we want.

This looks like a 2sp3 orbital, that looks like a 2sp3 orbital, that looks like a 2sp3 orbital.

Master!

So let's try.

Enterprise hasn't left orbit. They're maintaining a stationary position above the Forge.

After that is filled, then you move onto the 2s orbital.

Nothing fancy, just a combination of s and p orbitals.

Move into a stationary orbit.

So let's say that that's the nucleus and I'll just draw their p orbitals.

You would expect some type of bonding to form with the x orbitals or the y orbitals.

Equatorial orbit nailed.

Orbital

How much of the light is being dimmed depends on how big the planet is.

This is a picture here taken from SpaceShipOne.

So this is my y axis, this is my x axis, and our path is going to be the unit circle.

How is that possible? Why now?

Break orbit, now.

And then the one after that won't go into 2py or 2px, it'll go into 2pz.

Now, if we keep adding electrons, now we move to the 2p orbitals.

We are preparing to orbit the planet.

And so this function of where an electron is, this is called an orbital.

So instead of this being a 2s, what it really looks like for carbon is that this looks like a 2sp3 orbital.

We're leaving orbit.

And that was a bond well, let me draw two nucleuses and

It actually wants to separate itself within the p orbital, so the very next electron that you add won't go into 2px, it'll go into 2py.

Then we fill the 2s orbital and that would be a cloud around that, kind of a shell around that.

Orbital mode

What trolley?

That's what describes it's tetrahedral structure.

So you have your 1s orbital, your 2s orbital, and then you have your 2px orbital, your 2py orbital, and then you have your 2pz orbital.

Now, that's what you would expect if you just straight up kind of stayed with this model of how things fill and how orbitals look.

An sp3 orbital looks something like this.

I think it's just a ball of...

The angle between that and the pole that would actually be at a 90 angle or perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, compared to if it was just sraight up and down relative to the plane of the orbit.

Molecular Orbital

Another situation like this, once again this involves centripetal acceleration, inward forces, inward acceleration.

If you add a fifth electron, you would expect it to go into the 2px orbital right there.

So I should probably get going.

And Verrocchio looked at these paintings and instead of pointing a finger at a different orbit, said,

Commander Tucker... you're to break orbit immediately.

And instead of having one s and three p orbitals, it has four sp3 orbitals.

Their trajectory suggests no other destination, Captain.
