sublevel notation shows the electrons and their spins within each orbital. For example the 1s2 electrons would have one arrow pointing up and one arrow pointing down.

In the notation 2p4 what does 4 refer to?

It refers to numbers of electrons in the 2p sublevel.


What does orbital notation show that electron configuration does not?

Orbital notation shows how the electrons are arranged in the orbitals of the sublevels. Electron configuration shows only how many electrons are in each sublevel.


How many orbital in g sub level?

There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)


Where does the final electron in inner transition metals enter?

It enters the f sublevel.


Why are the valence electrons of calcium in the 4s orbital not the 3d orbital?

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.


Why does an electron occupy the 4s orbital before the 3d orbit?

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.


How many electrons are in the g sublevel?

There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)


How many electrons are found in each sublevel?

Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.


Why do you believe that the valence electrons of calcium and potassium reside in the 4s orbital rather than in the 3d orbital?

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.


What is the correct notation for a sublevel within the first energy?

Energy sublevels are labeled using the following letters: s, p, d, f, g... Each sublevel has an odd number of orbitals.( You can also find out how many electrons an atom has by multiplying the orbital number by 2) Sublevel Orbitals # of e- S 1 (x2) 2 P 3 (x2) 6 D 5 (x2) 10 F 7 (x2) 14

Does zinc have a partially filled 'd' sublevel?

no. it's d sublevel is full and that is the reason why it is not coloured like other transition metals that have a partially filled d-sublevel
