On the periodic table what tells you which subshell of an atom is being filled?

The period.


Why chromium is in d block?

This is because the D-Block in the Periodic Table is where the d-Subshell is being filled up. Chromium's d-Subshell is being filled up and is therefore in the D-Block.


Which subshell is represented by the actinides family?

The 4f subshell is being filled for the rare earth series of elements.


What electron subshell is being is being filled for the actinide series?

4f


What is the subshell being filled by argon?

Argon has completely filled M shell (or 3p orbital)


Subshell being filled by element with atomic number 47?

silver


How are the electrons in the 2p subshell similar to passengers getting on a bus?

they are similar due to the 2p subshell being one of the first to being added into an equation involving subshells. this is kin to getting on a bus as you and another person are one of the first to board the bus and thus they are similar.


In the elements in the middle section of the periodic table which orbital are the electrons being added?

the outer shell electrons of the transition elements (middle section) go into the 'd' orbital e.g. Cobalt (Co) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7 The 4s orbitals get filled up before the 3d orbitals because it takes less energy to fill the 4s orbital


Why was leaving spaces and gaps in the periodic table later vindicated?

Those gaps were later filled by elements discovered after the creation of the table, which justified the gaps being left for that purpose.


How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?

The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.


Why does atomic radii tend to increase left to right on the periodic table?

Because there are more shells, when there are more shells then you can't pull it closer to the center of the atom.


What are the names of the 2 series that are separated from the periodic table?

it depends on the table whether they're "separated" or not; sometimes they're incorporated in the middle.However, I'm almost positive you're referring to the lanthanides and the actinides, transition metal elements that have nearly identical chemical properties because the shell that's being filled is the f subshell, which doesn't have much impact on the chemistry. The main reason they're often separated is that including them where they "belong" makes the periodic table inconveniently wide. On a poster, this may be okay; if you're trying to fit it on a page of a book, it probably means you'll wind up with a table with print that's too fine to read and/or a lot of blank space around it.
