What else can I help you with?
Nitrogen has one electron in each of the?
The nitrogen atom has one electron in each of its 2p, 3s, and 3p orbitals, giving it a total of 5 valence electrons.
What is the Number of orbitals in nitrogen?
Nitrogen has five electron orbitals: one 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals.
If three electrons are available to fill three empty 2p atomic orbitals how will the electrons be distributed in the three orbitals?
The three electrons will fill each of the three 2p atomic orbitals with one electron each. Hund's rule states that electrons prefer to occupy empty orbitals before pairing up, so in this case each orbital will have one electron before any orbital receives a second electron.
What is Number of orbitals in helium?
Helium has two electrons, and each electron occupies an orbital. Therefore, in a helium atom, there are two orbitals, one for each electron.
How can one construct the molecular orbital diagram for N2?
To construct the molecular orbital diagram for N2, you would first write the electron configuration for each nitrogen atom. Then, you would combine the atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals, taking into account the symmetry and energy levels of the orbitals. Finally, you would fill the molecular orbitals with electrons following the Aufbau principle and Hund's rule.

How many orbitals are completely filled in an atom of sodium?
Nitrogen (N) is atomic number 7, so has 7 electrons in the ground state. The configuration is1s2 2s2 2p3. From this, one can see that the 1s is full, as is the 2s. So, the number of completely filled orbitals is TWO.

According to Hunds' rule when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy one electron enters each orbit until?
All the orbitals contain one electron, with the same spins.
How many electron orbitals does this atom chlorine have?
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. Each separated letter in that notation represents a distinct electron orbital. Therefore, there are 5 electron orbitals in chlorine.
What is the hybridization of nitrogen in NF3?
The hybridization is sp3 because N is bonded to 3 hydrogen groups and contains two unpaired electrons. For these three bonds and unpaired electron the s orbital and three p orbitals hybridize forming __ __ __ __ sp3 hybridized orbitals.
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.
How many bonding orbitals are in AsH3?
3 because that is the number of bonds it has already
Why is second electron affinity for halogens is zero?
All of the halogens are one electron short of having all of their atomic orbitals filled to reach an atom's state of nirvana. This explains why, in general, halide chemistry is such that halogens so willingly literally accept one electron in their ionic formulations and formally accept one electron or share a pair of electrons in the vast majority of their predominately covalent compounds. Halogens have no affinity for accepting a second electron because once a halogen atom has accepted once electron, all of its atomic orbitals each contain two electrons and are thus full. Any element with all its atomic orbitals filled has the equivalent electronic configuration of a noble gas and is in its most stable electronic state.What follows is very important to understand. It appears that many chemistry students do not know this fact probably because most textbooks and instructors do not explicitly point it out or they do a poor job emphasizing it: Elements only possess the atomic orbitals defined by the row in which an element exists in the Periodic Table.In many compounds, a particular element may possess one or more empty atomic orbitals in its electronic ground state. Students who have completed the first semester of general chemistry were presented with, and expected to understand, what atomic orbitals each element has. They should also know the order in which a given element's orbitals are progressively occupied by electrons when that element is in its ground electronic state and that orbitals with the lowest energy are filled first. It is also important to understand that the theoretical order of atomic orbitals in elements heavier than argon may be in a different order. This effect, when it occurs, is due to electron-electron repulsions about the element's nucleus.Let's look at a 2nd row element as an example. How about nitrogen? Because it's a 2nd row element, nitrogen has two "shells" of atomic orbitals and a total of five orbitals; however only electrons in the outer shell of orbitals may participate in chemical bonding. The 1st shell of electrons consists only of the 1s orbital. Like all atomic orbitals, the 1s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, which is denoted by the superscript in the orbital's designation, as in 1s2. Starting from the 1st element in the 2nd row and counting each element up to and including nitrogen shows that the outer shell of orbitals on nitrogen contains five electrons. Assuming that no electron-electron interactions alter the respective theoretical energy levels of the five orbitals (This does not occur in any of the 2nd row elements), the atomic orbitals on nitrogen are, in increasing energy: [1s2], 2s2, 2px1, 2py1, 2pz1. The three 2p orbitals have the same energy and are filled with one electron first before any of them takes on a second electron. Note that the first p orbitals, and the ones lowest in energy, are the 2p orbitals. There is simply no such thing as a 1p orbital. The 2p orbitals could have been named 1p orbitals. Everyone who first applied quantum mechanics to the hydrogen atom in order to describe its atomic emission spectrum, and, not long thereafter, the number and energy levels of an atom's electrons, are no longer with us. Nevertheless, the reason for the seemingly strange numerical designations is almost certainly because the quantum numbers that are solutions to the wave equation corresponding to the number and shape of the atomic orbitals begin with "2" for the p orbitals, "3" for the d orbitals, etc., and perhaps the people who discovered and published all of these findings decided not to change the numerical designations.The point I hope I made is that the five atomic orbitals shown for nitrogen are all it has. In addition to s and p atomic orbitals, there exists d and f orbitals, but not for nitrogen or any other second-row element. Therefore, once the 2s and 2p orbitals are filled, nitrogen cannot accept or share another additional electron because there is no atomic orbital in which it can be placed.
