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 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.
Has one electron in the 2s sublevel?
hydrogen
Why 4s has one electron and 3d has 5 electrons?
The electronic configuration of atoms is based on the filling of orbitals. In the case of the 4s orbital, it is relatively lower in energy than the 3d orbital, so it is filled first. Therefore, the 4s orbital can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons. As for the 3d orbitals, they have a higher energy level and can accommodate a maximum of 10 electrons, but in the case of transition metals, only 5 electrons fill the 3d orbitals due to electron configuration stability.
What is the shape of an electron cloud is determined by?
The energy 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 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.
Why is copper a transition metal as it have completely filled d sub-shell?
An electron moves from the 4s sublevel to produce a completely filled 3d sublevel. A completely filled sublevel is more stable. Just because it has a filled d sublevel doesn't prevent it from being a transition metal. It has variable valence (1+ and 2+).
Which elements have 2 electrons in the 4s sublevel?
Ca
Which element has 2 electrons in the 4s sublevel?
Ca
What element has 2 electrons in the 4s sublevel?
Ca
What element have 2 electrons in the 4s sublevel?
Ca
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 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.
What is the electron configuration of potassium excited state?
Ground state: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1Excited state: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4p1The 4s1 electron jumped into the 4p sublevel, which has higher energy than the 4s sublevel. This is very unstable, and the electron will drop back down into the 4s sublevel, emitting radiation, including visible light.This is not the only possible excited state, but is just one example.
Why do Cr and Cu doesn't contain a a full 4s orbital?
In the case of chromium (Cr), the electron configuration of 3d54s1 is more stable than 3d44s2. A half-filled sublevel is more stable than a sublevel that is less than half full. In the case of copper (Cu), the electron configuration of 3d104s1 is more stable than 3d94s2, again because a full sublevel and a half-filled sublevel is more stable.
