The orbital diagrams of all elements reveal patterns and trends in electron arrangement. For example, in the first row of the periodic table, hydrogen and helium have only one orbital each, which can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons. As we move across the periodic table, the number of orbitals and electrons per subshell increases.
Orbital elements are the parameters required to uniquely identify a specific orbit. In celestial mechanics these elements are considered in two-body systems using a Kepler orbit . There are many different ways to mathematically describe the same orbit, but certain schemes, each consisting of a set of six parameters, are commonly used in astronomy and orbital mechanics .
For a given atom, the s orbitals also become higher in energy as n increases because of their increased distance from the nucleus. Orbitals are generally drawn as three-dimensional surfaces that enclose 90% of the electron density, as was shown for the hydrogen 1 s, 2 s, and 3 s orbitals in part (b) in Figure 1.2.2 1.2. 2.
The four chemically important types of atomic orbital correspond to values of l = 0, 1, 2, and 3. Orbitals with l = 0 are s orbitals and are spherically symmetrical, with the greatest probability of finding the electron occurring at the nucleus. All orbitals with values of n > 1 and l = 0 contain one or more nodes.

Now to the orbital elements. First, we need to specify the size of the orbit. Bodies in closed orbits always orbit in ellipses, where the body being orbited is at one of the two foci of the ellipse. The size of the orbit is specified by giving the semi-major axis \ (a\) of the ellipse. Second, we need to specify the shape of the orbit.
