Protons are not located in orbitals. Only electrons are present in the orbitals.
Protons and Neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom.

An element with 20 protons and 20 electrons gains one electron The electron goes into what type of orbital?
3d
Why is sulfur larger than oxygen?
Sulfur is larger than oxygen because it has more protons in its nucleus and more electrons in the orbital shells.
An atomic orbital is best described as?
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electron. Both the protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus. Electrons reside in orbitals around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge.
What is d orbital?
The d orbital is the orbital that only applies to the 3rd orbital and up and it contains 10 electrons.
The 3s orbital differs from 2s orbital in that it is?
The 2s orbital and 3s orbital both have the same spherical shape and can hold a maximum of two electrons of opposite spin. They only differ because the 3s orbital is further out from the nucleus than the 2s orbital, thus the 3s orbital has a higher energy value.
Do orbitals correlate with the number of protons in the nucleus?
yes, as the number of protons increase, then the current orbital fills up and eventually a new orbital starts.
What element has 27 protons in its orbital diagram?
butt
What is an element that has 27 protons in its orbital diagram?
Cobalt: Its atomic number, which equals the number of protons in its nucleus, is 27.
What is the Bohr configuration for chlorine?
17 protons and 18 neutrons in the nucleus 2 electrons in the first orbital. 8 electrons in the second orbital. 7 electrons in the third orbital.
What poses the greatest hazard to communications satellites?
orbital debris.
What is the spin of the electrons in the same orbital must be paired?
That depends on the number of electrons and protons
Do valence electron equal the number of protons?
The number of electrons usually does not equal the number of protons. Valence means outermost. In an electrically neutral atom (which in Gen Chem is the only atoms you will be dealing with) the number of outermost electrons usually does not equal the number of protons. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons but it has 17 protons and if it is electrically neutral (which in gen chem it almost always is) it has 17 electrons. Gen Chem 1: it has 2 electrons in the first shell then it has 8 electrons in the second shell then it has 7 electrons in the outermost shell Gen Chem 2: it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital then it has 2 electrons in the 2s orbital then it has 6 electrons in the 2p orbital then it has 2 electrons in the 3s orbital then it has 5 electrons in the 3p orbital
What is the Bohr-Rutherford diagram for oxygen?
The bohr Rutherford diagram for oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are 2 electrons on the first orbital and six on the second. The bohr Rutherford diagram for oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are 2 electrons on the first orbital and six on the second.
An element with 20 protons and 20 electrons gains one electron The electron goes into what type of orbital?
3d
What atomic property determines an elements position on the periodic table?
the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the valence orbital
What are three major sub-atomic particles?
In the nucleus of the atom you have the protons and neutrons. In the orbital space around the nucleus are the electrons.
Why do group 17 elements in the periodic table of elements have only 7 outer electrons?
That's because after all the previous orbitals are filled, there are 7 protons left in the nucleus that are not paired with an electron. Example, Bromine. Bromine has 35 protons in its nucleus, so in order for it to have a neutral charge, it must have 35 electrons orbiting it. The first orbital (1s) holds 2 electrons (33 left protons left), the second orbital (2s and 2p) holds 8 electrons (25 left), the third orbital (3d, 3p and 3s) holds a total of 18 electrons (7 left). The last orbital (4s and 4p) can hold a total of 8 electrons, but since there are only 7 protons that aren't pair with an electron after all the previous orbital have been filled, it will hold seven in order to keep the atom's charge neutral.
