Gamma, as it has the most energy by far.


What are 3 components of an electron configuration Use hydrogen as your example.?

The three components are (i) the principle energy level (n), (ii) the subshell and (iii) the number of electrons. Hydrogen would be 1s1 where n is 1, subshell is s and number of electrons is 1.


Which electron that would emit the greatest amount of energy by dropping electron levels?

N=2 To N=1 The greatest energy change comes between the lower energy levels.


The electron configuration of an exited state of oxygen is 1s2 2s2 2p3 3s1 but my question is why it is not 1s2 2s1 2p5 how to determine which electron in which orbital is move to the another?

When is goes to the excited state is jumps an energy level, not just a subshell.


Which number represents the shape of an electron subshell?

The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.


Why is the 2s subshell of heigher energy than the 1s subshell?

it is just a quantum property, its further away from the nucleus


Which stage of respiration yields the greatest quantity of energy?

Electron transport chain .


What does electron beam therapy use?

It uses high energy, penetrating waves or particles such as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays


How many subshells are there in the second energy level?

There are two subshells in the second energy level. There is the S subshell, which can hold 2 electrons, and the P subshell, which can hold 6 electrons.
