What subatomic particles surround the nucleus?
Electrons occupy special regions called energy levels, or shells, which surround the nucleus.
Which sublevel will contain electrons with the greatest energy?
Among all the subshells present in a given shell, f-subshell has the highest energy.
Shelves where electrons can be found?
Energy Levels. 1st energy level can contain 2 Electrons 2nd energy level can contain 8 Electrons 3rd energy level can contain 18 Electrons 4th energy level can contain 36 Electrons
What is the electron configuration in Aluminum?
The electron configuration for the aluminum ion is identical to that of neon: 1s22s22p6
Two objects can not occupy the same space at the same time?
This is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. This was stated by the physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 regarding electrons.
When 3 d orbitals are completely filled the new electrons will enter in?
After the 3d sublevel is filled, additional electrons will occupy the 4p orbitals, for a total of 6 electrons in the 4p sublevel.
Which block do alkali and alkaline earth metals occupy?
The alkali (Group 1) and alkaline earth (Group 2) metals occupy the s-block because their outermost electrons are in the s sublevel.
If M-shell can occupy 18 electrons but in potassium there are 8 electrons in M -shell why?
we know that 1st shell contain 2 electrons 2nd shell 8 electrons but third shell have to contains 18 electrons but the maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8 electrons...... by yhell
How many electrons can occupy the 2s subshell and 3d subshell?
Two electrons can occupy the 2s subshell, and 8 electrons can occupy the 3d subshell.
How many electrons occupy the outermost energy level of an atom?
The answer to this depends on the energy level under consideration.In general, the maximum number of electrons occupied in one energy level is given by 2n2where n is the number of energy level. Thus 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th energy levels can occupy a maximum of 2, 8, 18 and 32 electrons
Is it true each energy level hold an unlimited number of electron?
No. For an atom of any given element there is a maximum number of electrons possible in each energy level. For example, in iron the pattern is 2, 8, 14, 2, meaning that two electrons occupy the first energy level, eight the second, 14 the third and two the outermost. The outermost electrons of iron can participate in chemical bonding.
Do electrons occupy shells in electrons?
yes they do :D
List all the orbitals that hydrogen electrons can occupy as it fall?
list all the orbitals that hydrogen electrons can occupy as it fall.
When do all electrons in an atom have the lowest possible energies?
This is called the "ground state", all electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy available to them.
What property describes how much energy must be added to an atom to remove an outermost electron?
The process is absorption of a photon. When energy like this is added to the system, if enough is added, then an electron can be ejected from the atom. The relevant theory involved with this is called 'band-gap' theory. Electrons are Fermions and as such obey the Pauli exclusion principle. This demands that no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state. Energy is quantised and therefore electrons can only take distinct energy levels at each orbital around an atom. The orbitals close to the nucleus are most tightly bound which means they must be given a tremendous energy to leave the atom. But if all the available slots in a particular orbital are filled, then an electron bound to the atom must occupy the next orbital further out. When all but the outer shell is filled, the only place for an electron attached to the atom is in this outer shell. In some atoms these electrons can be given enough energy by a photon to leave the atom and they do so because there are no further orbitals to occupy. In Silicon, this band-gap is 1.1 electron-volts. The figure varies by material.
When can two electrons occupy the same orbital according to Pauli's exclusion principle?
If two electrons are to occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spin.
How many electrons does the outermost energy level contain?
The answer to this depends on the energy level under consideration.In general, the maximum number of electrons occupied in one energy level is given by 2n2where n is the number of energy level. Thus 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th energy levels can occupy a maximum of 2, 8, 18 and 32 electrons
