What types of orbitals contain the valence electrons in the main group elements?
Its the s and p orbitals
elements in which the s and p arbitals in the outer shell are entirely filled are?
These elements, known as the alkali metals (group 1A) and alkaline earth metals (group 2A), are those in which the outer-shell s orbitals are being filled. On the right is a block of six columns. These are the elements in which the outermost p orbitals are being filled.
Is elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table called transition metals?
No the p block of elements does not contain transition metals. The lowest energy level to allow d orbitals is not the fourth energy level.
Shape of sublevels?
's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird
What are directional characteristics of p orbitals?
They are like dumbbells, unlike the spherical s orbitals, p orbitals have a definite direction on the x, y, and z axis.
What has outermost energy levels with full s and p orbitals?
The noble gas elements have outermost energy levels with full s and p orbitals.
What types of orbitals contain the valence electrons in the main group elements?
Its the s and p orbitals
How many filled orbitals are in an atom of sulfur?
2 full orbitals, S and P
Contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals?
period contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals
Why dos the number of elements vary from period to period?
This is because of how the electrons are packed inside each atom. There are four known electron orbitals, the s, p, d, and f orbitals. Each can hold a different number of electrons: the s can hold 2; the p can hold 6; the d can hold 10; and the f can hold 14.As you go down the Periodic Table, different orbitals are filled as you go. On the first period, only the s orbital is filled, so there are only two elements. On the second and third periods, only the s and p orbitals are filled, so there are eight elements each on those. On the fourth and fifth, the s, p, and d orbitals are filled, so there are eighteen elements on those. On the sixth and seventh periods, the s, p, d, and f orbitals are filled, so there are thirty-two elements on those.
What is the P level of atom refers to which level?
In electron orbitals there are a few different types of orbitals or levels. Refering to the periodic table of elements, the s orbitals are spherical and are seen in the first to columns. The p orbitals are in the last four columns.
What happens once an atom has full s and p orbitals in its outermost energy level?
Depending on what the level is, it may start filling d orbitals, or start on a new shell with s orbitals available.
What is orbitals called?
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
elements in which the s and p arbitals in the outer shell are entirely filled are?
These elements, known as the alkali metals (group 1A) and alkaline earth metals (group 2A), are those in which the outer-shell s orbitals are being filled. On the right is a block of six columns. These are the elements in which the outermost p orbitals are being filled.
How many full orbitals and half-full orbitals are there in valence shell of krypton?
Krypton is a noble gas and hence has stable electronic configuration. Its valence shell configuration is 4s2 4p6 . Therefore, it has 1-s and 3-p full orbitals in its valence shell.
Are the s and p orbitals of the noble gases are always empty?
No. Helium is the only noble gas to have an empty p-orbital, and has one full s-orbital. The rest all have at least one of each orbital full.
Is elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table called transition metals?
No the p block of elements does not contain transition metals. The lowest energy level to allow d orbitals is not the fourth energy level.
