Shell is only Imaginary path made by rotating of the electron. A more common concept is that the shell or shape of the various orbitals is a probability density function for the election. That means it defines the locations that you are most likely to find the electron at any given time. These can also be shown as orbits
these shells can also help u determine the electronic configuration
What else can I help you with?
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
What is meant by the orbit of an electron?
The path of an electron as it orbits the nucleus. If you mean the orbital, then that is the shell, or level that an electron is on. If you mean the spin, then that's a quality that subatomic particles have (nothing to do with spinning, just a name). An electron's spin is 1/2.
How many electrons does sulfur have in its third electron shell?
Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.
What is the path of a subatomic particle called?
Usually, the path that a subatomic particle takes is called just that, its path. Certain terms are used for specific circumstances, though, such as; orbit, when you're talking about atomic electrons; track, when you're referring to a particle's path in a cloud or bubble chamber; and beam, when referring to the path of a group of similar particles in an accelerator.
Difference bw shell and sub shell?
electrons revolve around the nucleus . shell is the path of the electron whre the electrons revolves. subshell is the region around the nucleus where you can find the probability of electron most. so shell attains circular/elliptical shape where as subshell attains different shapes(spherical,dumb-bell...etc)
Does lithium have a full outer shell?
no it only has 1 electron in the outer shell
Are valence electrons located in the electron cloud?
The outermost shell of an electron is called the valence shell. This shell may or may not have electrons.The valence shell is a part of the electron cloud.So your answer isYes, the valence electrons are located in the electron cloud.
When an alkali metal reacted with a non metal what happens to the loan outer shell electron?
The electron outside the shell donate its electron to the one inside the shell
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
How many electrons are in each shell of hydrogen?
1, because it has an atomic number of one, meaning it has 1 proton & 1 electron. It takes 2 electrons to fill the first electron shell, but hydrogen only has 1. So it remains at the 1st shell.
How many electrons does sodium have in its outer most shell?
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
The path that an electron travels around a nucleus is called an?
The "orbit" of an electron is the energy level that electron happens to be in. When we get to particles the size of electrons, the concept of electrons following a specific path begins to fall apart. We can no longer talk about an electron being somewhere and having a specific velocity; we can only talk about the PROBABILITY of an electron being at a specific place, as well as the most likely velocity at a given orbit.
