The number of sublevels in an energy level is equal to the square of the principal quantum number of that energy level?

No, the number of sublevels in an energy level is equal to the principal quantum number itself, not its square. The principal quantum number represents the main energy level or shell an electron occupies, while the sublevels (s, p, d, f) represent different orbital shapes within that energy level.


How many orbitals are there for each level and the number of electrons?

1st energy has 1 sublevel -- 1 orbital -- 2 electrons 2nd energy level has 2 sublevels -- 4 orbitals -- 8 e- 3rd energy level has 3 sublevels -- 9 orbitals -- 18 e- 4th energy level has 4 sublevels -- 16 orbitals -- 32 e- Notice the pattern? number of orbitals = energy level squared Number of electrons = 2x number of orbitals


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.


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.


A neutral atom with an atomic number of 15 will have electrons in its outermost energy level?

A neutral atom with an atomic number of 15 (phosphorus) will have 5 electrons in its outermost energy level. This is because the atomic number tells us the number of protons, which is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. The outermost energy level for phosphorus is the third energy level.

How do you use aufbau principle to determine electronic configuration?

Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital. Orbitals related to energy level are of equal energy.

How can you determine the number of energy rings an atom has by looking at the periodic table?

The number of energy levels is equal to the period number of the element. Through a group, the number of energy levels increases. All the elements in a period has the same number of energy levels.

What do substances with equal average kinetic energies have equal?

Substances with equal average kinetic energies have equal temperatures. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance.


Electrons within a pure atom are equal to what?

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This is because in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which maintains overall electrical neutrality.


How can a negative number be greater than zero?

if the negative number is within an absolute value sign than the negative number will actually equal a positive number


What is the maximum number of orbitals?

different atomic sublevels have different numbers of orbitals for electrons. s=2 p=6 d=10 f=14 but each prinicple energy level can hold more electrons than the last p1=2 p2=8 p3=18 p4=32 p5=50 p6=72 p7=98
