Why does the 4S orbital begin to fill before the 3D orbital?
Electrons occupy orbitals in a definite sequence, filling orbitals with lower energies first. Generally, orbitals in a lower energy level have lower energies than those in a higher energy level. But, in the third level the energy ranges of the principal energy levels begin to overlap. As a result, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel, so it fills first.
What is the lowest energy main shell that surround the molecules?
k shell
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.
What indicates the s sublevel in the third main energy level?
The s sublevel in the third main energy level is indicated by 3s.
When comparing the energy of an electron in the 3d sub-level to that of an electron in the 4s sublevel of the same atom?
They are both capable of holding a maximum of 10
Why is it that all of the sub shells in a given shell have the same energy in the hydrogen atom whereas in a many-electron atom the sub shells in a given shell do not have the same energy?
The hydrogen atom only has one energy level (shell). The first energy level also contains only one sublevel, 1s sublevel (subshell), which can only hold two electrons. When you get to the second energy level in the second period on the periodic table, it has two sublevels, the 2s and the 2p sublevels. Both of the electrons in the 2s sublevel have the same energy. The 2p sublevel can hold 6 electrons. All of the electrons in the 2p sublevel have the same energy, which is higher than the energy in the 2s sublevel. So, as we move down the periods on the periodic table, we move from the first energy level to the seventh energy level. Each energy level contains specific numbers of sublevels, and all of the atoms within a particular sublevel have equal energy.

What is the lowest numbered energy level where a d sublevel is found?
4. 1st shell: s subshell 2nd shell: s and p subshells 3rd shell: s, p and d subshells 4th shell: s, p, d and f subshells
What is the lowest energy main shell that surround the molecules?
k shell
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.
What is the first shell closest to the nucleus?
The K shell is first shell closest to the nucleus.
Which energy sublevel is being filled by the element K to Ca?
4s. Both K and Ca are s block and they are both in the 4th period. So in K, you have 4s1 and in Ca you have 4s2
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 are energy levels named?
They are named as K , L , M , N ... . Where in K is the first shell , L is the second shell , M is the third shell , N is the fourth shell and so on.
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.
Is potential energy in k-shell is negative then why?
bcoz the energy of bound system is always negative
