Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
How many electrons can be placed in the second energy level?
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.
What is a shell in chemistry?
Shell or energy level corresponds to the shell in which the electrons are present.
How many electrons are in the first energy level of magnesium?
Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in it's lowest (s) orbital.
How many electrons can a single orbital hold in the 3d level?
Yes a single orbital in the 3d level can hold 2 electrons.
How many electrons cana s orbital of a given energy level hold?
Two electrons of opposite spin
What is subshell or sub energy level?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital
What is the electron configuration of an element?
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.
How many d electrons can there be in an energy level?
There can be 10 electrons in a D orbital
Why does 4s orbital start filling while 3p orbital is empty?
The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.
Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
What is energy sublevel?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital
Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3d orbital?
because its energy level is lower
How many electrons are held in the second energy level?
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
What is the capacity of the second energy level with relation to it's electrons?
Each orbital is at a slightly different energy level and can contain only 2 electrons.
What is the lowest level having f orbital?
The lowest energy level that has F orbitals is the fourth energy level. The Atomic orbital of any atom only contains 2 electrons.
How many electrons can be placed in the second energy level?
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.
