Shapes of electron orbital are determined by what equations?
Schrodinger wave equation
What is beryllium's electron affinity?
It is NOT negative (for the first IE). Because Be's configuration is 1s2 2s2, we observe that it has no vacant orbital to accommodate an electron, meaning that to insert an electron, it has to go into a new sub-orbital, the higher-energy 2p. Hence, you need energy to promote this electron to a 2p level to force Be to accept it.
What have stable electron configurations?
any time there are as many electrons and protons and they fill each orbital optimally.
Why don't electron go inside proton?
In our Universe, various quantities come in "chunks" called "quanta." Amongst these are electricity, which cannot come in any amount smaller than one elementary charge. For (relatively) large things, we can have two objects separated by distances (in micrometers) of 1.000 or 2.000 or 1.500 or 1.379. However, as objects get smaller and smaller, we find that, in our Universe, the quantitization of quantities becomes more and more important. One such quantized quantity is energy state. Basically, when an electron is within the electric field of a proton, our Universe REQUIRES that the electron be in a specific orbital (try not to confuse that word with "orbits," which implies that the electron is circling around the proton) outside the proton. The lowest possible orbital that our Universe will permit an electron to be around a proton is the 's' orbital, in which the electron is MOST LIKELY to be about one angstrom from the proton, with no preference for direction. In other words, this orbital resembles (note the word!) a shell. Our Universe will not permit an electron to be in any lower energy state; ie, it can NOT get any closer to a proton. Don't like this fact about our Universe? Unfortunately, this is the one we'll have to learn about -- we don't have any other Universes to choose from.
Why it is incorrect or impossible for atoms to have the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 3s2 3p5?
Because it is missing the electronic configuration for 2p orbital.
What is the only possible value of mâ„“ for an electron in an s orbital?
answer = 0
What are the possible values of ml for an electron in a d orbital?
The possible values of ml for an electron in a d orbital range from -2 to +2. This corresponds to the five orbitals in a d subshell: dz^2, dx^2-y^2, dxz, dyz, and dxy. Each orbital can hold up to two electrons with opposite spins.
What does the third quantum number of an electron give?
The Specific orbital the electron is in
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
How many electron orbitals does helium have?
How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
What is an orbital in science?
Orbital describes space where electron is found. it provides probability for the presence of electron.
What is the Electron Orbital Pattern of boron?
The electron orbital pattern of boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1. This means it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 1 electron in the 2p orbital.
What is the orbital angular momentum of an electron in the orbitals?
The orbital angular momentum of an electron in orbitals is a measure of its rotational motion around the nucleus. It is quantized and depends on the specific orbital the electron is in.
From which orbital in a lithium atom is an electron transferred to make a positive ion?
An electron is transferred from the 2s orbital of a lithium atom to create a Li+ ion.
What information does the third quantum number of an electrons give?
The Specific orbital the electron is in
What is a electron cloud?
An electron cloud is an atomic orbital.
What are the maximum number of orbitals for an electron?
2 ELECTRONS in one orbital. (An electron can only be in one orbital at once)
