Each orbital, as previously mentioned, has its own energy level associated to it. The lowest energy level electron orbitals are filled first and if there are more electrons after the lowest energy level is filled, they move to the next orbital.
In this section we will discuss the energy level of the electron of a hydrogen atom, and how it changes as the electron undergoes transition. According to Bohr's theory, electrons of an atom revolve around the nucleus on certain orbits, or electron shells.
Every element has its own characteristic set of energy levels. The specific build of an element causes it to reflect a particular wavelength of light, each element has a "fingerprint" in terms of its line emission spectrum.
Each orbital type is considered an energy sublevel within the principal energy level. The first principal energy level has one orbital type – s orbitals. The second principal energy level has two orbital types – s and p orbitals. The s orbital has a lower energy sublevel than the p orbital.
In this explainer, we will learn how to describe and identify energy levels in atoms and determine the number of electrons each energy level can contain.

Key Concepts. The electrons surrounding an atom are located in regions around the nucleus called “energy levels”. An energy level represents the 3-dimensional space surrounding the nucleus where electrons are most likely to be. The first energy level is closest to the nucleus.
