There are 5 completely filled orbitals.

--------

actually there are 2 completely filled orbital shells in an argon atom the first has a max of two (filled) the second a max of 8 (filled) the third a max of 32 (missing 24)

1s22s22p63s23p5 = 17 electrons - so 3 main energy levels.. Subdivided there are 5 - 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p

Why can't you have two carbon atoms joined by 4 covalent bonds?

A carbon-carbon quadruple bond does not exist because that much electron density between the two nuclei would cause too much electrostatic repulsion. This prevents the electrons from grouping so tightly in such a small space. To find the actual bond order of a carbon-carbon bond, one would have to draw out a molecular orbital diagram. One would find that the molecular orbitals caused by the 1s and 2s atomic orbitals would have both bonding and antibonding orbitals filled, making them irrelevant to finding the bond order. The 2p orbitals give rise to two degenerate bonding pi orbitals, both of which are filled. Since there are no antibonding orbitals filled above the pi orbitals, the bond order is two.


How many orbitals completely filled in an atom whose wlectron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1?

That would be 1s2, 2s2, 2p6 are the 3 orbitals that are completely filled. The other one is not filled because it only has 1 configuration. Hopefully this help....if not I apologize. *PUMA #4*

What are First four steps of He fusion after Be?

The first four: 1. Be 2. C 3. O 4. Ne How I found this: Since Helium (He) has an atomic number of 2, add two to the atomic number of Be. Since the atomic number of Be is 4, and the atomic number of Helium is 2, you would add four plus two, which equals six. Carbon has an atomic number of six, so therefore it would be your next answer. The formula is the atomic number of Helium plus the atomic number of element you are provided with equals the atomic number of your answer. In simpler terms: atomic number of He+atomic number= atomic number of answer


What is the hybridization of the central nitrogen in N3-?

This is an odd question. Usually it is considered that the electrons transferred to an anion populate the lowest available orbitals, in the case of N3- these would be the 2p orbitals. In valence bond theory which is used to explain the bonding in covalent chemical compounds, atomic orbitals are hybridised so as to create new orbitals that point along bond axes.

No. Atomic number is always a whole number. This would be the atomic mass.

To find the number of neutrons in an atom you would subtract what?

You would subtract the atomic number from the mass number.


Would helium with two outer electrons form an ionic bond?

Helium is a mono-atomic element and has completely filled s-orbitals. So it is stable and non-reactive (chemically inert). Hence helium will not form any type of bonds with other elements.
