the pattern of an electron cloud is thisenergy level 1: 2atoms

energy level 2: 8 atoms

energy level 3: 18 atoms

energy level 4: 32 atoms

energy level 5: 50 atoms

i came up with a formula for it:

# of atoms= (energy level)(2x energy level)

Comment

The equation is 2 n2, where n= the sequence of the electron shells.

Q: What are the electron capacities of the sixth seventh and eighth shell layers of an electron cloud I know the first can hold 2 and the second can hold 8 and so on until the sixth layer?

How many electron shielding layers do noble gasses have?

helium has zero and add one as you go down the periodic table


Of elements in the same group those at the top of the periodic table have higher ionization energies because?

C.their atomic radius is small D.layers of electron shells shield the protons' attractive force fewer layers of electron shells create less shielding of the protons' attractive force


Why is graphite a non-metal and a good conductor?

There are weak forces of attraction between layers, so one electron from each carbon atom can be de-localised(moved), which allows graphite to conduct heat and electricity.


How would you describe the bonding in graphite?

graphite is an allotrope of pure carbon (basically meaning it is made of carbon but arranged in a different way creating different characteristics). Each carbon is bonded to three other carbon atoms covalently in layers. you may be asking now... but carbon has room for 4 extra electrons, what happens to the extra one?. a good question, this electron for each carbon atom becomes delocalised and exists in between the layers of carbons bonded to carbons. this makes graphite a good conductor of electricity due to these delocalised elctrons.


What is the electron dot structure?

Well.. an electron dot diagram is a diagram that represents the eletrons in outer cloud layers. And heres a stupidiio anwaser "its a dot in a electron....and a diagram thingy hehehehhe." there u go two anwsers there stupidiio or SMART U CHOOSE WISELY YOUNG GRASSHOPPPER

Do all of the noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers?

No, not all noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers. The noble gas helium (He) has only two electron shielding layers, while the remaining noble gases (Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon) have three or more electron shielding layers.

Do all of the noble gasses have at least two electron shielding layers?

No. If waht is meant are the layers below the outer layer then:- He has no shielding layer (electronic configuration 1s2) Neon has only one, electronic configuration 1s2, 2s2 2p6


Is it true All of the noble gases have at least three electron shielding layers?

No. He the lightest has only one 1s2. Neon is 1s2 2s2 2p6 so depending what you understand by the term layers - it either has two (complete shells) or three.
