Comparing energy levels of electrons with an electron's orbital?

As electrons move out of the valence shell into higher orbits they have energy to release. As they fall back down, giving off a photon, they tell the quantity of energy released by the color they give off.

What do you call the regions of the atoms in which electrons move?
Energy levels or orbital
What is the electron configuration of an element?
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.
In How many energy levels are the electrons of magnesium?
Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in it's lowest (s) orbital.
Can seven energy levels have a minimum number of electrons?
It depends on the ground level and its orbital axes
What is a shell in chemistry?
Shell or energy level corresponds to the shell in which the electrons are present.
In what orders do electrons fill orbitals?
Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing orbital energy. The exact order of these energy levels is shown at the related link below.
Must Electrons must fill the higher energy levels before they fill the lower energy levels?
No, according to Hund's rule the electrons fill the lowest orbital first and foremost and then go on to fill higher orbitals.
Is The 9i orbital permitted?
There is technically a 9i orbital, but no atom in the ground state has any electrons in this orbital (in fact, no known element has any electrons in even the 8s orbital, and there are quite a few energy levels between that and 9i). In an excited state ... sure, it could happen.
What is Energy levels and orbitals?
when we say the total number of electrons is expressed by 2n2 it means that the first orbital should have 2 electrons and the second is 8 electrons etc, on the other hand the binding energy of these electrons with nucleus is not the same for all electrons , it is calculated by the formula (2n-1) ie the orbital K in one energy level , and for the second L should be 3 energy level LI LII LIII and for the third M should be 5 energy levels MI MII MIII MIV MV etc
What are the names of the two types of orbital within an energy level?
Electrons orbit around the nucleus in an atom at different levels. The space between each level is referred to as an orbital.
How do electrons in the same atom differ?
The electrons have different energy levels.
How is an orbital principal quantum number related to the atoms major energy levels?
The principal quantum number describes the size of the orbital. Because they have opposite electrical charges, electrons MORE.
