Why is the 11th electron of the sodium atom located in the third energy level?
Each energy level can hold different number of electrons. The first energy level holds 2, second holds 8, and third holds 8. Because the first two energy levels of sodium can only hold 10 electrons, the sodium has a third energy level to hold the 11th electron.
Where are the electrons that possess the least amount of energy located in a calcium atom in the ground state?
An electron in the third shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of a sodium atom?
There's only one. Because of this it is very easy for sodium to lose that one electron so that it can have a full electron shell like that of neon. Sodium's first shell has two electrons, and it's second shell has 8 electrons.
How many electrons does calcium have and where are they located at?
The atomic number of calcium is 20 as it has 20 protons and 20 electrons, they are located outside the Nucleus in the orbits known as energy levels, and are commonly known as shells of the atom. in the first energy level there are 2 electrons, in the second energy level there are 8 electron, in the third energy level there are 8 electrons, and in the fourth energy level there are 2 electrons.
Why is it harder to remove an inner shell electron than a valence electron from an atom?
Electrons are attracted to the positive charge on the nucleus. The further an electron is found from the nucleus of an atom, the lower the force of attraction between it and the nucleus. Therefore an electron far away from the nucleus (like a valence electron) will have less of an attraction to the nucleus than one close to it. A lower attraction to the nucleus translates into the fact that less energy would then be required to remove the electron from the vicinity of that nucleus.
How many electrons can be the first energy level in the electron cloud hold?
two
What is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy level list separately?
is the electron cloud
What is the area surrounding the atom where electrons are located?
Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
How many electrons go on the fourth ring of the electron cloud in an atom?
The first ring of the electron cloud holds two electrons. All rings following it hold eight.
How many electrons can the first electron cloud hold?
Your question is a bit vague, but if you are enquiring about the first electron shell in an atom, it holds a maximum of two electrons.
What is the number for electrons on hydrogen's first energy level?
Hydrogen's electron configuration is 1s1. It has only one electron. It is located in the first energy level.
How many electrons are in the very first energy level?
there are two electrons in the first energy level of every element except for hydrogen which only has one electron in the first energy level.
Does an electron in the first energy shell have greater potential energy than an electron in the third energy shell?
electrons in the first electron shell have the lowest possible potential energy because YOUR MOM DROPPED U ON YOUR HEAD WHEN U WERE A BABY
Which energy levels in the electron cloud do the electron fill first?
these principle energy levels are satisfied first
Why does the separation of an electron from the neutral atom require more enery than the separation of an electron from the anion?
An explanation is via the electron cloud. In a neutral atom, equal number of electrons and protons means a stable separation of electrons from the nucleus and each electron is repulsed by the adjacent electrons at a stable distance. When one electron is removed forming an anion, the electron cloud will move closer to the nucleus because of lower electron repulsion (fewer competitors), and each electron is held more strongly by the protons. Since the force of attraction of proton-electron is stronger than before, removing the second electron will require even more energy than removing the first electron. ==========================
Where are the electrons of of an atom found?
The electrons of an atom are found in the electron cloud, an area of space surrounding the atom.The electrons circle around the atom in layers, called energy levels. The first level holds two electrons, the next holds eight, and the third level holds eighteen electrons. The levels continue to add up as more electrons are gained. The way to figure out how many electrons a level can hold is to multiply the level number by itself and multiply that answer by two. (e=L*L*2) The number of levels can continue rising.The electron cloud is very large; if an atom were a penny, the electron cloud would be the size of a college courtyard!
What part of the atom determines how it will react with other atoms?
These particles are the electrons.
