If an electron is in the second energy level in which type of orbitals could this electron be in?
If an electron is in the second principle energy level, that is, n = 2, then that electron could be in an s or p orbital.
The first element with an electron in the second energy level?
Lithium
Which electron in oxygen have the higher energy those in the first energy level or those in the second?
The second level is associated with higher energy than the first is. Keep increasing the energy of an electron enough, and eventually it breaks free of the atom completely.
Do sodium and chlorine have the same number of electron energy levels?
Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.
What information does the first quantum number of an electron give?
The energy level the electron is in
Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level Which statement is true of electron X?
Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level. Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level. It takes energy to do that.
The energy of an electron varies depending upon which energy level that electron occupies.?
Yes, the energy of an electron does vary depending on which energy level it occupies.
How many electrons in the second energy level of carbon?
There are four electrons in the second energy level of carbon. Here's the electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p2 or [He] 2s2 2p2.
When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is it taken from the environment?
No, the energy released by electron might be taken by enviornment. Electron remains in the infuence of corresponding nuclei, in another energy level.
The number of electron allowed in the second energy level is?
2s^2 2p^6 So, eight.
Principal energy level 1 of an atom contains an electron with the lowest energy why?
level one electron contain more energy
What can happenn if an electron moves to a higher energy level?
the electron will gain energy
