What is the Principal Energy Level?
The quantum number relating to the size and energy of an orbital
What quantum number represents the orientation of an electron orbital in space?
The quantum number that indicates the position of an orbital is the magnetic quantum number. The number of different sublevels within each energy level of an atom is equal to the value of the principle quantum number.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
What does the second quantum number describe?
The specific orbital within a
What is the maxium number of electrons an f orbital will hold?
There are seven different possible magnetic quantum numbers or seven orbitals. In that cause the maximum number of electrons an f orbital will hold would be fourteen.
What is the energy levels?
The quantum number relating to the size and energy of an orbital
What is the Principal Energy Level?
The quantum number relating to the size and energy of an orbital

What is the electron configuration of an element?
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.
What is the maximum number of s orbital shapes in a principal energy level?
1
How many electrons are held in the second energy level?
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
How is an orbital principal quantum number related to the atoms major energy levels?
The principal quantum number describes the size of the orbital. Because they have opposite electrical charges, electrons MORE.
What is the first energy level in helium called?
The first energy level in the quantum (current) theory of the atom is the 1s electron orbital, which can hold two electrons.The following energy levels go like this:1s22s22p63s23p64s24p63d105s25p64d106s2...And so on. (The first number being the energy level, the letter being the shape of the electron orbital, and the superscript being the number of electrons the orbital can hold.)
Can seven energy levels have a minimum number of electrons?
It depends on the ground level and its orbital axes
What is the number of electron that can be held in the first orbit?
If you mean 'orbital' then 2. Every orbital holds 2. If you mean energy level one, then it also happens to be 2.
