Only s and p in the 2 level
D orbitals start to get filled after the 3p orbitals in the periodic table. They are typically filled after filling the 4s orbital, as the 3d orbitals are the next to be filled in the transition metal series.
The s orbital is present in all valid principal quantum number shells.The p orbital is present in n = 2 and higher.The d orbital is present in n = 3 and higher.The f orbital is present in n = 4 and higher.So the invalid ones are b (there are no 2d orbitals) and c (there are no 3f orbitals). 4s and 3p are perfectly legitimate.
The electron configuration of calcium is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2. This means that calcium has 20 electrons, with two electrons in the 1s orbital, eight in the 2s and 2p orbitals, and eight in the 3s and 3p orbitals, and finally two in the 4s orbital.
4s 3p 3s 2p 1s This is probably one of the easiest chemistry problems in the book, you should probably look it up.
The order of filling orbitals in an atom follows the Aufbau principle, which states that electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest. This means that electrons will first fill the 1s orbital, followed by the 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, and so on, in increasing order of energy levels.
Calcium has 20 electrons in total. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s², which indicates that there are no electrons in the 3p orbitals. The 3p orbitals are filled in the next element, scandium, which has 21 electrons.
After the 3p orbital, the next atomic orbital is the 4s orbital. In the order of filling according to the Aufbau principle, the 4s orbital is filled before the 3d orbital. Following the 4s, the 3d orbitals are filled, and then the 4p orbitals come next.
The orbital designations 3f and 2d are invalid. The letter "f" is not used to designate orbitals, and the numbers in the designation should follow a specific order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, etc.
The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.
D orbitals start to get filled after the 3p orbitals in the periodic table. They are typically filled after filling the 4s orbital, as the 3d orbitals are the next to be filled in the transition metal series.
The s orbital is present in all valid principal quantum number shells.The p orbital is present in n = 2 and higher.The d orbital is present in n = 3 and higher.The f orbital is present in n = 4 and higher.So the invalid ones are b (there are no 2d orbitals) and c (there are no 3f orbitals). 4s and 3p are perfectly legitimate.
The orbital designation "4p 3s 2d 5f" is invalid because it does not follow the proper order of filling orbitals according to the Aufbau principle. The correct order is 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p.
The electron configuration of calcium is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2. This means that calcium has 20 electrons, with two electrons in the 1s orbital, eight in the 2s and 2p orbitals, and eight in the 3s and 3p orbitals, and finally two in the 4s orbital.
d orbitals begin to fill after the s orbitals of the same principal energy level are filled, specifically starting from the 3d orbitals after the 4s orbital. This occurs due to the energy levels of the orbitals; while the 4s orbital is filled before the 3d, the 3d orbitals have a higher energy level compared to 4s once the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled. As electrons are added to an atom, they occupy the lowest available energy orbitals first, which is why d orbitals fill after the s and p orbitals of the preceding energy level.
Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 electrons. The electron configuration of iodine is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁵. In this configuration, the filled orbitals include the 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 4d, and 5s orbitals, totaling 10 filled orbitals: 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 4d¹⁰, and 5s². The 5p orbital has 5 electrons but is not fully filled, so it does not contribute to the count of filled orbitals.
4s 3p 3s 2p 1s This is probably one of the easiest chemistry problems in the book, you should probably look it up.
The order of electron orbitals following the Aufbau principle is: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p. Electrons fill the orbitals in increasing energy levels.
