How Are Electrons in Orbitals Represented

In Chapter 6 we learned that althongh an election is a paiticle with a known mass, it exhibits wavelike properties. The quantum mechanical model of the atom, which gives rise to the familiar shapes of 5 and p atomic oibitals, treats elections in atoms as waves, rather than particles. Therefore, rather than use arrows to denote the locations and spins of electrons, we will adopt a convention whereby a singly occupied oibital will appear as a Ught color and a doubly occupied 

Two singly occupied s orbitals each containing one electron 

Two singly occupied orbitals (one s, one p) each containing one electron 

Overlapped s orbitals, sharing the pair of electrons, both doubly occupied
