Description: 3d electron orbitals, computer model. An electron orbital is a region around an atomic nucleus (not seen) in which one or a pair of electrons is most likely to exist. Four of the five 3d orbitals are made up of four lobes, centred on the nucleus. The orbital at top is bi-lobed with an encircling ring. They are part of the 3 shell, which also contains one spherical 3s orbital and three bi- lobed 3d orbitals, both at a lower energy (not seen). The 3d shells are partially full in the first row of transition metals. These metals typically form coloured compounds as electron transitions between 3d orbitals absorb some visible wavelengths of light.
Description: Tantalum (Ta). Diagram of the nuclear composition, electron configuration, chemical data, and valence orbitals of an atom of tantalum-181 (atomic number: 73), the most common isotope of this element. The nucleus consists of 73 protons (red) and 108 neutrons (orange). 73 electrons (white) successively occupy available electron shells (rings). Tantalum is a transition metal in group 5, period 6, and the d-block of the periodic table. It has a melting point of 3017 degrees Celsius. The transition metal trends are due to electrons filling an inner d-subshell (here, within the 5th ring), shielding the outer (valence) electrons from the increasing nuclear charge.

Xenon, element 54, like most of the Noble Gas family, is inert/unreactive, although fluorine, oxygen and even nitrogen can be exceptions under the right conditions. Xenon is often used in antibacterial UV lamps to disinfect medical and food processing environments.
Description: The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Potassium, element 19, has a symbol K, from the Latin Kalium, meaning alkali. Potassium works to maintain proper fluid balance within our cells, and is vital for producing energy. Insufficient potassium can cause fatigue, muscle cramps/twitches, abnormal heart rhythms, low blood pressure, and other issues.
Description: The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Antimony, element 51, is derived from the Greek stibi, meaning mark since it was used for blackening eyebrows and eyelashes. Other uses of antimony include hardening bullets, creating flame-retardant materials, and strengthening the lead in storage batteries. Antimony is about ten times more toxic than lead and is also a cumulative poison.
Description: The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Neon, element 10, can certainly light up the night, but only the reddish glow is truly neon. The word neon is derived from the Greek neos, meaning new. Neon is part of the noble gas family in Group 18, the elements in last column of the classic Periodic Table of Elements.
Description: The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Promethium, element 61, is the last lanthanide to be discovered. It is also the only lanthanide that is naturally radioactive. Promethium is named after Prometheus, the Titan who was tortured by having his liver eaten each day for giving fire to mankind.
Description: The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Chromium, element 24, was named after the Greek word for color, chroma. Chromium is used to make some bright pigments of green, yellow, orange and red. Chromium is also used to give stainless steel a shiny finish as well as protect it from rust.
Description: The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Gallium was named after France (Gallia) and also rooster (Gallus) in Latin. The melting point of gallium is 85.58 degrees farenheit so it can melt in warm to hot liquid. Gallium spoons have been made as part of pranks. However, Gallium can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes, and may also damage liver and kidneys.
