they are similar due to the 2p subshell being one of the first to being added into an equation involving subshells. this is kin to getting on a bus as you and another person are one of the first to board the bus and thus they are similar.

They all go to their own seat until they are all filled then they start sharing them with each other.

What do electrons in the same shell have on common?

Electrons in the similar shell and the similar subshell have exactly same amount of energy.


In a Bohr diagram how many electrons are in each shell?

There are 4 electron sub-shells: s, p, d, and f. These letters stand for sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental, but the names are not important. s subshells have 2 electons, while p subshells have 6, d subshells have 10, and f subshells have 14. There can be higher subshells, but these subshells require too much energy to fill and no element with a g subshell (the next subshell after f) has ever been synthesized. The first shell (i.e. the first period of the periodic table) has only s. Thus, the first shell has 2 electrons. The second shell has s and p subshells, so it has 2+6 or 8 electrons. The third shell has s, p, and d subshells. It ultimately has 18 electons. This can be misleading, however. The d subshell requires more energy to fill than the higher-shell s subshell. This is why the third period of the periodic table does not have a d section: the d electron subshell of the third Bohr shell does not fill until after the s subshell of the fourth Bohr shell has filled. Looking at the periodic table, you can see that the third period only has 8 electrons, while the 4th period has 18. The 18 electrons in the fourth period are the s subshell of the fourth shell, the d subshell of the 3rd shell, and the p subshell of the 4th shell. The fourth shell is similar to the third shell, but more extreme. The fourth shell has s, p, d, and f subshells, but the f subshell is not filled until two higher s shells have been filled. It does, however, fill out to 32 electrons in the 6th period of the periodic table. In the 6th period, the first period to have 32 electrons, there are 32 electrons, filling these subshells: s subshell of the 6th shell, f subshell of the 4th shell, d subshell of the 5th shell, and then the p subshell of the 6th shell. The fifth shell would ultimately fill out to a full 50 electrons and would do so in the 8th period of the periodic table. However, as previously noted, no substance has ever been found or generated with that many electrons. It would fill the s subshell of three shells above (i.e. shell 8) before it filled the g subshell of shell 5. No element in the 8th period has ever been synthesized, so a filled fifth Bohr shell has never been found. A good example for a Bohr diagram would be Astatine, which is in the 6th period. In the first shell of the Bohr diagram, you have 2 electrons (s subshell only). It is filled completely. In the second, you have 8 electrons (s and p subshells) and in the third you have 18 electrons (s, p, and d), and both shells are filled completely. In the fourth shell, you have 32 electrons (s, p, d, and f), and it is filled completely. In the fifth shell, you have 18 electrons. This is because only the s, p, and d subshells are filled. It would require too much energy to fill the f subshell of the 5th shell, so the electrons just go to the s, p, and d subshell of higher shells. The 6th shell has 7 electrons. The 2 electrons of the s subshell are filled first, and then 5 electrons go into the p shell.

Is it electrons and free electrons are the same?

Physically all the electrons are similar.


Why do elements in a family or group in a periodic table often share similar properties?

Because their outer electronic structure is nearly the same, they also have the same amount of valence electrons, so it leads to similar chemical reactions (or similar bonds with other atoms)


What elements in the same group and family have?

in the same group( family) have the same electronic configurationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)


How were the sinking of the Titanic and the SS Republic similar?

Both did not have enough lifeboats for all the passengers.


Why do fluorine and chlorine have similar properties?

Flourine and Cholrine have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in outmost shell (7). Each group has similar properties because their amount of valence electrons (electrons in the outmost shell) can only support bonding with certain elements.


Why do atoms with the same number of valence of electrons have similar chemical properties?

Because atoms with the same number of valence electrons react in similar ways with other elements.

There are similar number of electrons and protons. it has 15 electrons and protons.


What command could you use to create a variable called TEST that is available to child processes in subshells?

If you want a shell variable to be visible to all child shells then it has to be exported before you start the subshell. For example, export TEST=hi would allow a subshell to see and use that variable. Some shells also use setenv, which does a similar thing.


What do elements in a group have in common?

The elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence similar chemical and physical properties.
