How many electrons in 2d xy?
The 2d sub energy level does not exist. The first shell to contain a d sub-shell is the third shell: the 3d sub-shell contains a maximum of 10 electrons, with two electrons in each of five different d orbitals.
An electron which is in a 3d shell spends 100 percent of its time in that 3d shell Is that true?
No, an electron in the 3d shell can move to the 4s shell very easily.
What is notation for subshells of M shell?
M shell notation: N = 3 contains 3 sub shells s,p and d (3s,3p and 3d) *according to my chemistry book.
What is the shorthand configuration of copper?
Atomic shorthand uses the noble gas before the element in questionAnswer: Cu: [Ar]4s[1]3d[10]Explanation: Copper Cu is an anomaly. Logically we would write 4s[2]3d[9] but for Cu, having the d sub level full is more stable than having the s sub-shell full and the d sub-shell less than full. Chromium also has this anomaly, and is written [Ar]4s[1]3d[5]
Why is 2d1 not possible?
A break down of 2d1:2 = the quantum energy level or electron shell denoted as 'n'd = the sub-shell of the energy level (known as a degenerate level)1 = the number of electrons occupying the sub-shell.Through extensive research by scientists, no known element has a d sub-shell in the second (n=2) energy level. In fact, the d sub-shell does not appear until the fourth period (fourth row).The first d sub-shell is known to be in the third energy level (therefore the first energy level with this sub-shell is 3d, but not 2d).Transition metals are the elements known to fill the d sub-shells. The first transition metal in the periodic table is scandium (Sc) with the electron configuration of [Ar]4s23d1.The reasons for the formation of sub-shell of d is beyond my knowledge and the scope of basic chemistry.
How many electrons does an Fe atom have in a 3d Shell?
3d^6 Six electrons in the outer shell.
How can you tell the doffermce between 2s subshell and 2p subshell?
You can tell the difference between a 2s sub-shell and 2p sub-shell from their energy levels, because a 2p sub-shell is a higher energy level than a 2s sub-shell.
What is shell and sub shell?
they are both the same meaning
What sub level s of energy make the o shell?
The sub-level s of energy that make the o shell is the K-shell.
How many electrons can 3d hold?
There are a maximum of 10 electrons in the 3d sub-level.
What is the electron configuration of ferrous?
Fe3+=1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5You might think that it should me ...... 4s2 3d3...this is incorrect..your argument may be that....3d sub shell has more energy than 4s sub shell...& therefore,electrons from 3d,should be removed 1st.This happens when there are no electrons in shells.....when the sub shells are filled with electrons,it change.Hence,after electrons are filled in orbitals,4s electrons have more energy than 3d electrons...so, the electron config. of Fe3+=...3p6 3d5........not 4s2 3d3Here...2 electrons are removed from 4s and 1 electron is removed from 3d....therefore,it makes Fe3+ ion..
How many electons can each shell of an atom hold?
2 for the s orbital, 6 for p, 10 for d. The order of sub-orbitals is as follows: 1s 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d
