What is sub shell letter?

Subshell letters indicate electron shells. The letters K-Q or numbers 1-7 are called subshell letters. They are placed in superscript form.


What are the divisions within a shell called?

A subshell is a subdivision of electron shells.


The divisions within a shell are called?

Subshell or Subshells


What subshell have the higher energy 4s4p4dor 4f?

4f subshell has the highest energy. A f subshell has the highest energy among all the subshells in any shell.


What are division within shell?

A subshell is a subdivision of electron shells.


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.


How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?

The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.


What do electrons in the same shell have on common?

Electrons in the similar shell and the similar subshell have exactly same amount of energy.


In a Bohr diagram how many electrons are in each shell?

There are 4 electron sub-shells: s, p, d, and f. These letters stand for sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental, but the names are not important. s subshells have 2 electons, while p subshells have 6, d subshells have 10, and f subshells have 14. There can be higher subshells, but these subshells require too much energy to fill and no element with a g subshell (the next subshell after f) has ever been synthesized. The first shell (i.e. the first period of the periodic table) has only s. Thus, the first shell has 2 electrons. The second shell has s and p subshells, so it has 2+6 or 8 electrons. The third shell has s, p, and d subshells. It ultimately has 18 electons. This can be misleading, however. The d subshell requires more energy to fill than the higher-shell s subshell. This is why the third period of the periodic table does not have a d section: the d electron subshell of the third Bohr shell does not fill until after the s subshell of the fourth Bohr shell has filled. Looking at the periodic table, you can see that the third period only has 8 electrons, while the 4th period has 18. The 18 electrons in the fourth period are the s subshell of the fourth shell, the d subshell of the 3rd shell, and the p subshell of the 4th shell. The fourth shell is similar to the third shell, but more extreme. The fourth shell has s, p, d, and f subshells, but the f subshell is not filled until two higher s shells have been filled. It does, however, fill out to 32 electrons in the 6th period of the periodic table. In the 6th period, the first period to have 32 electrons, there are 32 electrons, filling these subshells: s subshell of the 6th shell, f subshell of the 4th shell, d subshell of the 5th shell, and then the p subshell of the 6th shell. The fifth shell would ultimately fill out to a full 50 electrons and would do so in the 8th period of the periodic table. However, as previously noted, no substance has ever been found or generated with that many electrons. It would fill the s subshell of three shells above (i.e. shell 8) before it filled the g subshell of shell 5. No element in the 8th period has ever been synthesized, so a filled fifth Bohr shell has never been found. A good example for a Bohr diagram would be Astatine, which is in the 6th period. In the first shell of the Bohr diagram, you have 2 electrons (s subshell only). It is filled completely. In the second, you have 8 electrons (s and p subshells) and in the third you have 18 electrons (s, p, and d), and both shells are filled completely. In the fourth shell, you have 32 electrons (s, p, d, and f), and it is filled completely. In the fifth shell, you have 18 electrons. This is because only the s, p, and d subshells are filled. It would require too much energy to fill the f subshell of the 5th shell, so the electrons just go to the s, p, and d subshell of higher shells. The 6th shell has 7 electrons. The 2 electrons of the s subshell are filled first, and then 5 electrons go into the p shell.


Which subshell is contained in the n 5 electron shell?

P and f only


What group of elements have 2 electrons in s subshell and 4 electrons in p subshell of their atoms valence shell?

It is group 16, also known as the chalcogens


What types of electrons s p d or f are considered those involved in the make up of the outer shells of atoms?

It depends on the particular atom in question. Any of those subshells can make up the outer shells of atoms. Examples: In Mg, the outer shell is the 2s subshell. In P, the outer shell is the 3p subshell. In Fe, the outer shell is the 3d subshell, etc.
