How many sub shells are there?
Four sub-shells: s, p, d, f . Only artificially / theoretically in quantum mechanics there is a 5th sub shell 'g' and maybe 'h' is the 6th
The divisions within a principal energy level are called?
Sub shells or sub energy levels, s,p,d,f , they are represented by Azimuthal quantum number 'l'.
What is the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is?
In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin. The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain. s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total d-orbitals: five, containing 10 f-orbitals: seven containing 14
Why there are 14 element in lanthanide series?
because there are only 14 electrons in the f orbital
Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?
an f orbital
How many sub shells are there?
Four sub-shells: s, p, d, f . Only artificially / theoretically in quantum mechanics there is a 5th sub shell 'g' and maybe 'h' is the 6th
Describe the presence of sub shells in a shell?
A sub shell is an area inside an atom's electron shell that contains a type of electron orbital. Each and every atom consists of a central nucleus of one or more positive protons and zero or more chargeless neutrons, with electrons traveling about it the electrons are on shells
Are electrons located only in specific shells around the nucleus of the atom?
Electrons are located in all the shells before the last shell but when doing equations and working things out, you only refer to the last shell. This is because the shells before the last shell are all full (the first one has only 2 electrons but the rest have 8) and only the outer shell electrons, known as valance electrons, react with other substances.
Which sub shells are farthest from the nucleus?
As you go from s to p to d and then to f, you get further from the nucleus.
What are the different atomic orbitals?
You can break down the shell and orbitals of an atom on several levels of detail.First, there are the main shells of the atom, and these are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (or like some doing it alphabetically K, L, M, N, ...).In the periodic table you will encounter them as seven periods.Each shell holds orbitals (sometimes called sub-shells, but they are not), and different shells have different numbers of orbitals associated with it. The higher the number of the main shell, the more orbitals it contains. In fact, the number of the main shell is equal to the number of orbitals it contains. The types of orbitals are labeled like this: s, p, d, f, and not so very important: g, h, i, etc (alphabetically after i).So far we have:Main shell #1-- contains one orbital (s-orbital)Main shell #2-- contains two orbitals (s-orbital, and p-orbital)Main shell #3-- contains three orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, and d-orbital)Main shell #4-- contains four orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital, and f-orbital)etc...Now we can further break down orbitals! The p-orbital is actually composed of three sub-orbitals and the d-orbital is composed of 5 sub-orbitals and f-orbital in 7 sub-orbitals.So we have:s-orbital: just a single orbital, called just the s-orbitalp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, called the px-, py-, and pz-orbitalsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, called the dxy-, dxz-, dyz-, dx2-y2, and dz2-orbtialsf-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, called fz3, fxz2, fyz2, fxyz, fz(x2-y2), fx(x2-3y2), fy(3x2-y2).etc...And at last, but not least: each sub-orbital has a maximum of TWO electrons in it, only differing in electron spin number.So the maxima per orbital are:s-orbital: just a single orbital, max. 2 electronsp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, max. 6 electronsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, max. 10 electrons (= number of transitional elements)f-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, max. 14 electrons (= number of lanthanides, actinides)(Thanks to JEK, who's original answer I completed with the last paragraph and some minor add's in the first ones)
The divisions within a principal energy level are called?
Sub shells or sub energy levels, s,p,d,f , they are represented by Azimuthal quantum number 'l'.
What is the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is?
In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin. The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain. s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total d-orbitals: five, containing 10 f-orbitals: seven containing 14
What sublevels are contained in the hydrogen atom's first four energy levels?
The four sublevels encountered in the elements are s, p, d, f.The number of orbitals in each level are s, one; p, three, d ,five; f, 7.
What is the maximum number of electrons that the f sublevel can hold?
f has 14 electrons in 7 sublevel orbitals,d has 10 electrons in 5 sublevel orbitals,p has 6 electrons in 3 sublevel orbitals,s has 2 electrons in 1 sublevel orbital.
Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?
an f orbital
Why there are 14 element in lanthanide series?
because there are only 14 electrons in the f orbital
What is f-f transition?
f-f transition: the transition of an electron from an f orbital which is lower in energy to an f orbital which is higher in energy is a f-f transition.
