A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents what?
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.
Why does one electron in a rubidium atom occupy a 5s orbital rather than a 4d or 4f orbital?
in 5s it is filled but in 4d or 4s its half
How many electrons occupy the second orbital?
8
How are electrons placed into an orbital shell?
Electrons enter the orbitals on the basis of increasing energy of sub-shells. Also, when an electron occupies an orbital another electron cannot occupy that orbital until all other orbitals of that sub-shell have atleast 1 electron.
How many electron orbitals does helium have?
How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
How many electrons occupy p orbital in silicon atom?
8
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Can two electrons occupy a single orbital?
of course they can. They have to be of opposite spin and two is the maximum number that can occupy one orbital.
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
there r 2 electrons in the s orbital, their r 6 electrons in p orbital , their r 10 electron's in the d orbital and 14 electrons in f orbital.
How many unparied electrons does fluorine have?
Fluorine in its elemental stage has 1 unpaired electron. ( 2p5 orbital has one unpaired electron in 2p orbital)
What information does the third quantum number of electron give?
The specific orbital the electron is in
Paired electrons are represented by what dots?
An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.
