Explain the relationship between electrons orbitals and energy levels?
Bekahhhxx
Briefly:
- The electrons are in orbitals, each orbital can take two electrons and each electron would have an opposite spin. Orbitals can have no electrons, one electron or be filled with two electrons.
- Orbitals are arranged in energy levels. However, even in the same energy level different orbitals will have different energy despite being in the same main energy level.
- The energy level nearest the nucleus has 1 orbital: 1s
- The next energy level, the second energy level has four orbitals: 2s and three p orbitals. The 2p orbitals have more energy than the 2s orbital. The third energy level has 3s x1; 3p x 3 and 3d x 5 however, the 3d orbitals have an energy which actually places them in the fourth energy level between 4s and 4p. It gets complicated.

Make a prediction about the relationship between electrons and molecular shapes?
no
What is difference between explain and describe?
Describe is what it is and explain is why it is as it is
Why do you see colors in flame tests?
When an atom is in the flame, an electron in the outer shell of that atom receives energy from the flame and jumps up to a higher shell position. This electron then falls back to is original position and in doing so emits a photon of light of a specific energy. You see this light as a color. Atoms from different elements have different numbers of electrons in their electron shells so the photons emitted as these electrons jump back are all of different energy and therefore emit light of a different color. The color of the flame in the flame test therefore helps to identify the element in the flame producing the colored light.
Describe the relationship between mass and weight?
Describe the relationship between mass and weight.
What makes something a theory in science?
An Hypothesis is a guess as to the relationship between two things. A Theory is a provable relationship between two things. Example would include Pythagoras Theorem. A theorem will reliably predict a result and explain the connection. Sometimes Theories are called Laws - such as Ohm's Law, Boyle's Law, Laws of refraction and so on.
How are electrons inolved in bonding between atoms?
The electrons are shared in the last orbitals of both atoms thus binding them together
What is the sharing of electrons between atoms to fill their outer orbitals called?
Formation of covalent bonds.
What is the difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Electrons in a bonding orbital have lower energy levels than the average energy of a valence electrons in the isolated atoms between which the orbital is formed. Antibonding orbitals do not meet this criterion, so that anitbonding orbitals can be stable only in conjunction with bonding orbitals, whereas bonding orbitals can be formed without any accompanying antibonding orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called bonding molecular orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbitals.
What is the difference between a valence electron and a shielding electron?
Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost shell/orbitals. Sheilding electrons are inner electrons that block valence electrons from protons causing less attraction.
What is the maximum number of electrons that the f sublevel can hold?
f has 14 electrons in 7 sublevel orbitals,d has 10 electrons in 5 sublevel orbitals,p has 6 electrons in 3 sublevel orbitals,s has 2 electrons in 1 sublevel orbital.
In C2H4 what are the atomic orbitals that participate in forming the sigma bond between the C and H atoms?
sp3 sp3 orbitals overlap Could you please explain why? :) Thank you!!
What do electrons do in Bohr's model of atoms?
In Bohr's atomic model, electrons are in specific orbitals (NOT orbits), which are at specific energy levels. An electron can go directly from one orbital to another, but it can never be in-between any two orbitals. The energy level of these orbitals is specified by angular momentum being quantized.
The relationship between electrons and life?
The relationship between electrons and life is the tiny subparticles react with the nuetrons creating a friction that keep are basic genomes going.
are chemical bond energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms?
A chemical bond is an energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms.
How are electrons involved in light?
None, light is composed of photons. Light may be emitted or absorbed when electrons undergo transitions between atomic or molecular orbitals, but the light itself does not contain electrons.
How electrons work?
Electrons have negative charges, and unlike neutrons and protons are located on the outside of the atom. They are generally located in electron clouds around the atom, and stay there because of their attraction to protons that are in the nucleus of the atom.
What are the similarities between groups 3 through 12?
These elements to transition metals. The electrons are filled in the d-orbitals. Most of the elements have unpaired electrons and hence are paramagnetic.
