What else can I help you with?
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
Which is the lowest energy that can have a s orbital?
Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
Why does an s orbital fill before a p orbital?
In general, electrons fill up different positions in such a way that they are in the lowest possible energy level. The orbitals closer to the nucleus have a lower energy level than the ones which are further out.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
How many electrons can the p orbital in a given energy level hold?
The p orbital can hold a maximum of 6 electrons in a given energy level.
Which energy levels do not have p orbital?
The energy levels that do not have p orbitals are the first and second energy levels. The first energy level (n=1) contains only an s orbital, while the second energy level (n=2) has both s and p orbitals. Starting from the third energy level (n=3), s, p, and d orbitals are present.
The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantrum number of?
The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantum number of 2. The s orbital is part of the first principal energy level (n=1) and the p orbitals are part of the second principal energy level (n=2).
The number of possible different orbital shapes for the third energy level is?
The number of possible different orbital shapes for the third energy level is 3. For n equals 4 the number of possible orbital shape is 4.
What does the P mean in 2p6?
In the notation "2p6," the "p" refers to a type of atomic orbital, specifically a p orbital. The "2" indicates the principal quantum number, which represents the energy level or shell, while the "6" indicates the number of electrons in that orbital. Therefore, "2p6" describes an electron configuration where there are six electrons in the second energy level's p orbitals.
What types of atomic orbital are in the third principal energy level?
The principal energy level is three, so there are three sublevels: 3s, 3p, and 3d. S,P and D
How many energy sublevels are in the second principle energy level?
By the first principle energy level I assume you are referring to the lowest atomic orbital or ta principal quantum number of 1. This orbital holds 1 pair of 2 electrons.
