The subshells of 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 4f act like core orbitals. This understanding of the configuration of the atom helps us to understand why electrons and atoms behave the way they do.

Isotopes 12C 13C and 14C all behave the same chemically because they?
All have the same nuclear charge and consequently the same electron configuration.
How will electron pairs behave towards one another in VSEPR?
electron pairs move away from each other to more electrostatically balanced positions
What has only 1 electron and behaves like an alkali?
There is no metal like you describe in your question. Hydrogen is in Group 1, but is not an alkali metal. It is a gas at standard temperature. It does rarely behave like an alkali metal, and it does have only one electron. Hydrogen is in Group 1 primarily because of its electron configuration, which is 1s1. All of the alkali metals also have one electron in their outermost s orbital.
How does body cells readily differentiate between sodium chloride and potassium chloride?
Sodium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,1. Potassium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,8,1. They behave identically in almost all the chemical reactions. But then you have potassium chloride molecule inside the cell. You need to have sodium chloride molecules out side the body cell to make them survive. If you get intravenous injection of sodium chloride, nothing will happen to you. If you give intravenous injection of potassium chloride, you will die instantly. How body cells recognize the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride in no time is the big question mark.
Does measuring the momentum of the electron around the nucleus cause it to behave as a particle and so the cloud disappears as shown in double slots experiment?
Well, the act of measuring an electron's momentum changes its position, rendering the measurement invalid. This is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
What did schrodinger think the atom looked like?
Erwin Schrodinger proposed the modern atomic model, known as the "wave-mechanical" model. Essentially, he said that atoms behave like both waves and particles, and purported the concept of electron shells, subshells, and orbitals. Electrons are found on "shells" of charge outside the atom. These shells divide into subshells, which divide into orbitals.
An electron model is a good approximation of?
how electrons behave in their orbitals
Does hydrogen behave like an alkali metal?
Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.
Isotopes 12C 13C and 14C all behave the same chemically because they?
All have the same nuclear charge and consequently the same electron configuration.
Why do electrons behave like tiny magnets?
a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes the electron behave like a tiny magnet
How will electron pairs behave towards one another in VSEPR?
electron pairs move away from each other to more electrostatically balanced positions
How electron behave in a metal?
the power from te cord go on the metal so when you touch it you get shocked
What element has not really an alkali metal but since you have only 1 electron you behave like them?
Hydrogen
What does an electron cloud hold?
An electron cloud surrounding an atom is a visualization tool to allow for the discussion of atomic proberties. Since electrons behave with wavelike properties, the "cloud" is a representaion of the probability density of the electron's wavefunctions.
Is hydrogen on the left side of the periodic table why or why not?
Hydrogen is on the left side because it has the same valence electron configuration as all the other elements in its family/group. Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium all contain one valence electron.
What has only 1 electron and behaves like an alkali?
There is no metal like you describe in your question. Hydrogen is in Group 1, but is not an alkali metal. It is a gas at standard temperature. It does rarely behave like an alkali metal, and it does have only one electron. Hydrogen is in Group 1 primarily because of its electron configuration, which is 1s1. All of the alkali metals also have one electron in their outermost s orbital.
What two ways do electrons behave?
Any particle, such as an electron, also behaves as a wave (as well as behaving like a particle).
