When compared with the energy of an electron in th first shell of a carbon atom the energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is?
greater
What do we mean by the first second third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.
What do we mean by the first second and third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.
What is ionization potentials?
Ionization potential is the energy required to remove one electron from an atom in the gaseous state. The units may be eV(electron volts) or kJ/mol. These are readily interconverted. Usually the ionization potentials for successive electrons are quoted as the first ionization potential, second ionization potential etc.
Why potential energy varies with respect to height?
That's how potential energy is defined in the first place. Also, an object at a greater height does indeed have energy, that can be converted into other types of energy, e.g. movement.
A roller coaster going down the first drop is an example of?
At the top of the first hill, the coaster car has stored the maximum amount of potential energy. This is shown in the equation for potential energy, PE=mgh, where h is the height. The greater the height, the greater the potential energy. During the drop, potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy. The equation for kinetic energy is KE=(1/2)mv^2, where v is the velocity of the coaster car. The faster the car is going, the greater the kinetic energy. So as the car goes faster, the kinetic energy grows. But as the car goes down, h is getting lower, lowering the potential energy.
What information does the first quantum number of an electron give?
The energy level the electron is in
What is the first energy level of an electron?
The K shell's 1s orbital is te first energy level of an electron.
Why is energy absorbed during successive electron affinities?
There is a greater repulsive force from the negatively charged anion, thus causing the addition of successive electrons to be electrically unfavorable. Energy is necessary to overcome the electrostatic repulsion, making additional electron affinities endothermic. For the same reason, the noble gases and nitrogen absorb energy even for their first ionization energy. Greater stability = energy released. It requires energy to disrupt that stability.
How do energy levels of electrons compare?
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^

What is the number for electrons on hydrogen's first energy level?
Hydrogen's electron configuration is 1s1. It has only one electron. It is located in the first energy level.
