∙ 11y agoThe sublevel occupied by any electron is determined by the electron's angular momentum quantum number, l. It is found by solving the Schrodinger equation, allowing us to find probability distributions for an electron in an atom. For example, we can say that an electron in a hydrogen atom's 1s sublevel will be found 99 percent of the time somewhere in a sphere with a given radius around the nucleus. Hence the reason we can draw the s sublevel as a sphere.
An s sublevel
The p, d and f sublevels are also drawn on the basis of where an atom's electrons are most likely to be found.
A p sublevel
Examples of the sublevels found in various atoms are shown below. The superscript shows the number of electrons in each sublevel.

How many electron orbitals calcium have?
Zero. Calcium has two electrons in its 4s sublevel, and none in the 3d sublevel. The 3d sublevel doesn't start filling until after the 4s sublevel is filled.
The number of electrons in the third sublevel of an iron atom is?
14 (see link below)
Why is it that all of the sub shells in a given shell have the same energy in the hydrogen atom whereas in a many-electron atom the sub shells in a given shell do not have the same energy?
The hydrogen atom only has one energy level (shell). The first energy level also contains only one sublevel, 1s sublevel (subshell), which can only hold two electrons. When you get to the second energy level in the second period on the periodic table, it has two sublevels, the 2s and the 2p sublevels. Both of the electrons in the 2s sublevel have the same energy. The 2p sublevel can hold 6 electrons. All of the electrons in the 2p sublevel have the same energy, which is higher than the energy in the 2s sublevel. So, as we move down the periods on the periodic table, we move from the first energy level to the seventh energy level. Each energy level contains specific numbers of sublevels, and all of the atoms within a particular sublevel have equal energy.
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
How many electrons are in the g sublevel?
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
Which sublevel contain valence electrons in an atom of nitrogen?
Levels 2p and 2s.

How many electron orbitals calcium have?
Zero. Calcium has two electrons in its 4s sublevel, and none in the 3d sublevel. The 3d sublevel doesn't start filling until after the 4s sublevel is filled.
When comparing the energy of an electron in the 3d sub-level to that of an electron in the 4s sublevel of the same atom?
They are both capable of holding a maximum of 10

How many orbital in g sub level?
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
Where does the final electron in inner transition metals enter?
It enters the f sublevel.
Why are the valence electrons of calcium in the 4s orbital not the 3d orbital?
The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.
Why does an electron occupy the 4s orbital before the 3d orbit?
The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.
What is the total number of electrons in the 2p sublevel of a chlorine atom in the ground state?

How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
