How many electrons are located in the 2p sub level in a ground-state nitrogen atom?
I believe there are 3 electrons
How do valence electrons differ from the other electrons in an atom are the outermost energy?
They do not differ in any way, except they are the 1 to 8 electrons in the highest energy ground state orbitals of that atom.
What subatomic particle produces light?
Electrons can produce light when they are "excited," and jump outside their ground state, then hop back, releasing a photon of light.
What is the total number of electrons found in the valence shell of an alkaline earth element in the ground state?
less than 2 (1)
How many electrons does the C atom own by oxidation-state electron bookkeeping?
4 electrons
When electrons lose energy and return to their initial or ground state what is given off?
Light.
Which is the highest energy state?
The highest energy state is the excited state, where an atom or molecule has absorbed energy and its electrons are at higher energy levels than their ground state. This state is temporary and unstable, as the electrons will eventually return to their ground state and release the absorbed energy.
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
An atom is in an excited state when it has absorbed energy, causing its electrons to move to higher energy levels. These excited electrons are unstable and eventually return to their ground state by emitting energy in the form of light or heat.
When an atom is excited the electrons go up in energy level and then soon return to ground state emitting a photonif energy can not be related were physically does this photon come from?
The exciting of an electron takes in energy. The fall back to the ground state releases that energy as a photon. The photon is created by the return to the ground state.
How many unpaired electrons does an atom of antimony in its ground-state have?
An atom of antimony in its ground state has 3 unpaired electrons.
Why is visible light given off when a salt such as sodium chloride is exposed to a flame?
When a salt like sodium chloride is exposed to a flame, the high temperature causes the electrons of the metal ions (such as sodium) to become excited. As the electrons return to their ground state, they release energy in the form of light. This visible light is the characteristic color emitted by the specific metal ions present in the salt.
How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus have in its ground state?
Phosphorus has three unpaired electrons in its ground state.
Which energy position do electrons generally want to be in the excited state the ground state the highest possible energy level the medium energy level?
Electrons generally prefer to be in the ground state, which is the lowest energy level available to them. This state is the most stable configuration, as it minimizes the energy of the atom or molecule. While electrons can be excited to higher energy states, they tend to return to the ground state, releasing energy in the process.
How many electrons is in the 4d subshell in the ground state of the atom xenon?
There are 10 electrons in the 4d subshell of the ground state of Xenon.
How many unpaired electrons does nitrogen have in its ground state?
3 electrons. This can be told from the periodic table. These electrons are in the 2p orbital.
How many electrons does boron have in its 2p-orbitals in its ground state?
Boron has 2 electrons in its 2p orbitals in its ground state. The 2p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons (2 electrons per orbital), but in the ground state, boron only has 2 electrons in the 2p orbitals.
What happens when an electron return to its ground state?
Energy must be emitted for an electron to return to the ground state. This energy typically occurs in the form of a photon--a particle/wavelet of light. Flourescent bulbs, for example, conduct a current through a gas knocking electrons into higher, more exicted orbits. As the electrons decay into lower orbits, light is emitted, producing the flourescent glow.
