What is energy released on adding an electron to an isolated gas phase atom?
All electron shells represent an energy level - it doesn't matter if its the outermost shell or not. In order for there to be a release of energy the electron has to be coming from a higher energy state. The only energy state higher than the outer-most electron shell would be a free electron. The only way an electron becomes a free electron is that sufficient was provided to lift it from what-ever electron shell (energy level) it was previously in to escape velocity. The energy that it then releases in returning is then this exact same amount of energy.
What is electron configuration of an atom?
a listing of the energy levels and sublevels of an atom with the number of electrons in those levels/sublevels. Ex: 1s22s22p4 (what looks like exponents in math are the number of electrons) 1s2 indicates the 1st energy level has an 's' sublevel with 2 electrons 2s2 indicates the 2nd energy level has an 's' sublevel with 2 electrons 2p4 indicates the 2nd energy level has an 'p' sublevel with 4 electrons total of 8 electrons in the atom
How does the electron's energy change as the orbit of the electron increases?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
When compared with the energy of an electron in th first shell of a carbon atom the energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is?
greater
What is the basic difference between electron affinity and electro negativity?
ok, so electron affinity is the amount of energy given off when a particular atom excepts electrons. Essentially, it is the likelihood that an atom will accept an electron, while ionization energy is how much energy is needed to take an electron off of a particular atom
Sublevel of atom?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital. -APEX
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.
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's?
Ionization Energy or electron energy
How many electron orbitals calcium have?
Zero. Calcium has two electrons in its 4s sublevel, and none in the 3d sublevel. The 3d sublevel doesn't start filling until after the 4s sublevel is filled.
What part of the atom is able to be lost or gained?
the energy is require to remove an electron from an atom (ionization energy) but when electron is absorbed in an atom energy is released (electron affinity) however 2nd electron affinity is endothermic ,energy is require.
What energy is required to remove an electron from an atom?
The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (in the gaseous state) is called the IONIZATION ENERGY.

What is the number of electrons in the third principal energy level in an atom having the electron structure 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2?
The element with that electron configuration has 4 electrons in the third level. There are 2 electrons in the 3s sublevel and 2 more electrons in the 3p sublevel. This means 4 valence electrons total. This element is silicon (Si, #14).
