The orbital diagram can be derived from the elemental carbon's (C) electron (e-) configuration. C is configured as a helium (He) core as [He]2s^2 2p^2, 2, 4. A Lewis dot structure would have a C with one dot, representing a valence electron over each of four sides. A C bonded to 4-hydrogens (H) is CH4, whose orbital model would resemble a tetrahedron.

What does being out of one's element mean?

Being out of one's element means being in a group of people with whom you are not comfortable, that their activities and exercises are not similar to those to which you are accustomed, and you would feel more in your own element if you could select your usual gathering of friends with whom to conduct games and conversations.


How do you find the numbers of neutrons in an atom?

The number of neutrons in an atom is not a constant. It is equal to or greater than the number of protons, and the number of neutrons changes the atomic mass number, as the proton number is constant. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Some are stable, some are unstable, some are radioactive.

What are the partial orbital diagrams of all the elements?

See the Web Links to the left for a pdf file with a periodic table which shows the electronic configuration (in shorthand notation) for each element. You can also use the WebElements link and select each element to view its electronic configuration.Shorthand notation marks the electron configuration starting with the noble gas element in the previous row. To write out the complete configuration, just write down the configuration for that noble gas in place of the name of the noble gas (you may have to do this several times if you are writing the configuration of an element towards the bottom of the periodic table -- just keep working backwards until you get to the first 1s orbital.For example:The shorthand configuration for iodine (I) is listed as: [Kr]5s24d105p5.First, we must add on the configuration for krypton (Kr) in front:[Ar]4s23d104p65s24d105p5.But since Kr is given in terms of argon (Ar), we must keep going:[Ne]3s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5.And again for neon (Ne):1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5Now we've got everything, so the complete electron configuration for iodine (I) is: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5Follow the aufbau chart for order of filling - 1s, 2s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p and so on. The following link explains electron configuration and gives the configuation for elements 1 - 20:http://www.scribd.com/doc/10542/Electron-Configuration-Worksheet?from_email_04_friend_send=1


According to the phase diagram for water how is the state of water determined?

The axes of any phase diagram have temperature (x-axis) and pressure (y-axis). With a temperature of 273K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa , water is at its freezing point. Now keeping the same temperature (273K) , but reducing the pressure to say , 100 Pa ,water will be a gas. Conversely, at a temperature of 373K and 101,325 kPa water is at its boiling point. However, if you increase the pressure to say 10 MPa, water remains a liquid. If you keep the same temparture 373 K and increase the pressure to 10GPa then water remains a solid. Another way is to randomly select any given point on the phase diagram, say in the Gas phase and read the temperature and pressure.
