It depends which n since n is the row (period) number. 1st n = 1-s subshell, 1 orbital, and 2 electrons. 2nd n = 2-s subshell with 1 orbital and 2 electrons + 2-p subshell with 3 orbitals and 6 electrons.
There are 7 orbitals,according to principal energy level n.
There are 4 different energy levels corresponding to s, p, d and f.
By the first principle energy level I assume you are referring to the lowest atomic orbital or ta principal quantum number of 1. This orbital holds 1 pair of 2 electrons.
electrons occupy sublevels in the order of increasing energy .
Electrons in the outermost principal energy level are called valence electrons.
for all elements, excluding hydrogen, there are 2 electrons in the first energy level. Hydrogen is the exception of this because it only has a single electron, thus it only has 1 in its first and only energy level.
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital
There are 2 energy sublevels in the second principal.
There are two sublevels in the 2nd principal energy level. They are the 2s and 2p sublevels.
Zinc atoms contain 30 electrons in the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s2. There are a total of 7 sublevels that contain electrons in an atom of zinc in the ground state.
valence electrons and energy sublevels
By the first principle energy level I assume you are referring to the lowest atomic orbital or ta principal quantum number of 1. This orbital holds 1 pair of 2 electrons.
The 2s and 2p sublevels in the second principal energy level are completely occupied in the ground state of a sodium atom.
the orbitals of the sublevels of the same principal energy level differ in shape which describes where the electron is likely to be found. Also the orbitals of sublevels have different energy levels. In ascending enegy in any level s < p < d < f < g etc HOWEVER whether the different sublevels exist depends on the principal energy level ie 1s 2s, 2p 3s, 3p, 3d 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f
electrons occupy sublevels in the order of increasing energy .
Electrons in the outermost principal energy level are called valence electrons.
Principal energy levels are an atom's major energy levels, ranging in value from 1 to 7. Energy sublevels are contained within principal energy levels, and their number increases as the value of the principal energy level increases.
1st energy has 1 sublevel -- 1 orbital -- 2 electrons 2nd energy level has 2 sublevels -- 4 orbitals -- 8 e- 3rd energy level has 3 sublevels -- 9 orbitals -- 18 e- 4th energy level has 4 sublevels -- 16 orbitals -- 32 e- Notice the pattern? number of orbitals = energy level squared Number of electrons = 2x number of orbitals
