What has 12 neutrons and 1 electron in the 3rd level of the periodic table?
Sodium has 1 electron in the third energy level. 11Na23 isotope has 12 neutrons.
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level in sodium?
Sodium: Na(2, 8, 1 ) so there is one electron in the highest (3rd) level
How does the sodium atom becomes a positively charged ion?
It forms an ion by giving away its only electron in the valence shell (3rd energy level).
Which sublevel of the 3rd energy level are filled?
S and P
If an electrically neutral atom has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 36 how many electrons will it possess?
The atomic number of 17 is the number of protons in nucleus of the atoms of this element (chlorine, Cl). In a neutral atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are equal, so this atom also has 17 electrons. The mass number in this problem is a distractor, and does not contribute to solving the problem. You can use electron configuration to figure out how many electrons are in the second energy level: 1s22s22p63s23p5. You can see that there are 8 electrons in the second energy level in the 2s and 2p orbitals. You also can look Cl up on the periodic table and see that it is in the 3rd period, which means that its second energy level is full (meaning 8 electrons). The last element to add to the second energy level is the noble gas neon (Ne) in the 2nd period. Neon's 2nd energy level is completely filled. So the next element, sodium (Na), starts adding electrons to the 3rd energy level, and its the first element in the 3rd period. All of the rest of the 3rd period elements continue adding electrons to the 3rd energy level s and p orbitals, until the noble gas Argon (Ar), which fills the 3rd energy level s and p orbitals.
What are the highest occupied energy levels in aliminium?
The highest occupies energy level in aluminum is the 3rd energy level. Its electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p1.
What has 12 neutrons and 1 electron in the 3rd level of the periodic table?
Sodium has 1 electron in the third energy level. 11Na23 isotope has 12 neutrons.
What is the valence electron number in an atom?
the number of electrons in the 3rd energy level of an atom.
What is magnesium's highest occupied energy level?
Magnesium is 1s22s22p63s2 and so the 3rd energy level is the highest occupied level.
What electron transition represents a gain of energy?
All transitions in which electrons move from a lower to a higher level require a gain of energy. example: 2nd to 3rd shell
How many electrons does k have in each energy level?
K (potassium) has 2 electrons the the 1st energy level, 8 each in the 2nd and 3rd, and 1 electron in the 4th.
What is the maximum number of electron that may occupy the third electron energy level?
8 is the maximum number in the outermost energy level!
What does a 3rd ionization energy mean?
Energy to remove a 3rd electron from an atom.
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level in sodium?
Sodium: Na(2, 8, 1 ) so there is one electron in the highest (3rd) level
What are the electron energy levels and how many electrons fit into each?
2 can fit in the first energy level, 8 can fit in the second, and there is an infinite number that can fit in the 3rd.
How many electrons are in orbitals related to the third energy level of a sodium atom?
In the ground state, a sodium atom has 1 electron in the 3rd energy level, in the 3s orbital. See the link below to see/print a periodic table that gives electron configurations for the elements.
If a Hypothetical atom has energy levels from lowest to highest as n equals 1 n equals 2 and n equals 3 For an electron in this atom to move from n equals 1 to n equals 3 orbit the electron must?
Absorb appx 12.1eV (electron Volts) of energy. Energy of 1st level is -13.6eVEnergy of 3rd level is -1.5eV Hence, energy required = 13.6 - 1.5 = 12.1 eV
