Electron configuration for He?
1s2 Or, He(2) i.e., Helium has only two electrons and it is a completely filled first shell making it the simplest noble gas.
What is the oribital notation of helium?
it's an up arrow and down arrow next to each other, beneath that it says 1s2.
Why first period contains 2 elements while second period contains 8 elements?
Each row in the table contains elements that have the same number of electron orbit shells. The first orbit, which is closest to the nucleus only has space for 2 electrons (no idea why, sorry). This is why only hydrogen (1 electron) and helium (2 electrons) are in the first row. The second row has the same inner shell, with 2 electrons and an outer shell with room for 8...and so on.
Why does helium end in sĀ² than p6?
helium has only 2 electrons and hence its configuration is 1s2
What is the name flat region beyond neptune orbit that contains leftover planetesimals?
]s\
What contains only a 1s2 orbital?
He
Which contains only a 1s2 orbital?
He
What element only contains a 1s2 orbital?
Helium.
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
The solar system contains only the sun planets and satellites?
It also contains asteroids and comets, which technically are not satellites as they do not orbit a planet, but orbit the sun in the asteroid belt, the Kuyper belt, and the Oort cloud.
Electron configuration for He?
1s2 Or, He(2) i.e., Helium has only two electrons and it is a completely filled first shell making it the simplest noble gas.
What three subatomic particles are found in the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Is the electron configuration for a Si atom written as 2.8.8.4?
It is written as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. The innermost electron "ring" contains 2 electrons, the next contains 8 and the last contains 4.
What has a 1s 1 orbital?
One option is a helium atom. Another is a Lithium cation. Or a beryllium cation. Or boron for that matter. Cause Li would be 1s2 2s1, Be would be 1s2 2s2 and Boron would be 1s2 2s2 2p1 so if they were to lose their valence electrons to become ions (cations) then they would have a 1s2 orbital. :D
What is the oribital notation of helium?

What is an imaginary surface that contains Earth's orbit?
That would be the "ecliptic plane".
What is the space outside the nucleus that contains the electrons called?
shells or orbit
