Which has more outer electrons phosphorus or silicon?
Phosphorus has more outer electrons than silicon. Phosphorus has 5 outer electrons in the third energy level, while silicon has 4 outer electrons in the third energy level.
Which energy levels holds more than 8 electrons?
The third and higher energy levels can hold more than 8 electrons. The third energy level has 18 electrons, the fourth has 32, and so on. Each successive energy level can hold more electrons than the one before it.
Which energy holds no more than 8 electrons?
The first and second energy level will hold maximum of 2 and 8 electrons.
What is the energy level farthest away from the nucleus of the atom that holds 8 or more valence electrons?
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first level or those in the second?
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
List the total number of electrons needed to fully occupy each main energy level?
The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, the third energy level can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth energy level can hold up to 32 electrons.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of carbon and how many does it need to have this energy level filled?
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Why does one electron in potassium atom go into the fourth energy level instead of squeezing into the third energy level?
remember that in potassium the electron configurations is as follows 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 as u can see there is 8 electrons already in the third energgy level we know that p can only contain a total of 6 electron 2 in each orbital(3 orbitals in a p)and 2 electrons from the s orbital in the third energy gives a total of eight no more electrons are able to squeeze because the total electrons the third energy level can have has already been reached so instead it is sent to the fourth energy level ready to take up electrons ( 4s1)
Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first energy level or in the second?
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
According to quantum mechanics what is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third energy level in a ground state atom?
The first level can hold 2, the second can hold 8, and the third can hold 18 electrons. However, the outer level never holds more than 8; therefore an atom containing only 3 levels will have only 8 in the 3rd level.
What happen when an atom has more electrons that can fit in one energy level?
An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.
What is the number of electrons in the third principal energy level in an atom having the electron structure 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2?
The element with that electron configuration has 4 electrons in the third level. There are 2 electrons in the 3s sublevel and 2 more electrons in the 3p sublevel. This means 4 valence electrons total. This element is silicon (Si, #14).
