In a Bohr diagram how many electrons are in each shell?
There are 4 electron sub-shells: s, p, d, and f. These letters stand for sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental, but the names are not important. s subshells have 2 electons, while p subshells have 6, d subshells have 10, and f subshells have 14. There can be higher subshells, but these subshells require too much energy to fill and no element with a g subshell (the next subshell after f) has ever been synthesized. The first shell (i.e. the first period of the periodic table) has only s. Thus, the first shell has 2 electrons. The second shell has s and p subshells, so it has 2+6 or 8 electrons. The third shell has s, p, and d subshells. It ultimately has 18 electons. This can be misleading, however. The d subshell requires more energy to fill than the higher-shell s subshell. This is why the third period of the periodic table does not have a d section: the d electron subshell of the third Bohr shell does not fill until after the s subshell of the fourth Bohr shell has filled. Looking at the periodic table, you can see that the third period only has 8 electrons, while the 4th period has 18. The 18 electrons in the fourth period are the s subshell of the fourth shell, the d subshell of the 3rd shell, and the p subshell of the 4th shell. The fourth shell is similar to the third shell, but more extreme. The fourth shell has s, p, d, and f subshells, but the f subshell is not filled until two higher s shells have been filled. It does, however, fill out to 32 electrons in the 6th period of the periodic table. In the 6th period, the first period to have 32 electrons, there are 32 electrons, filling these subshells: s subshell of the 6th shell, f subshell of the 4th shell, d subshell of the 5th shell, and then the p subshell of the 6th shell. The fifth shell would ultimately fill out to a full 50 electrons and would do so in the 8th period of the periodic table. However, as previously noted, no substance has ever been found or generated with that many electrons. It would fill the s subshell of three shells above (i.e. shell 8) before it filled the g subshell of shell 5. No element in the 8th period has ever been synthesized, so a filled fifth Bohr shell has never been found. A good example for a Bohr diagram would be Astatine, which is in the 6th period. In the first shell of the Bohr diagram, you have 2 electrons (s subshell only). It is filled completely. In the second, you have 8 electrons (s and p subshells) and in the third you have 18 electrons (s, p, and d), and both shells are filled completely. In the fourth shell, you have 32 electrons (s, p, d, and f), and it is filled completely. In the fifth shell, you have 18 electrons. This is because only the s, p, and d subshells are filled. It would require too much energy to fill the f subshell of the 5th shell, so the electrons just go to the s, p, and d subshell of higher shells. The 6th shell has 7 electrons. The 2 electrons of the s subshell are filled first, and then 5 electrons go into the p shell.
What is the name of elements whose outermost s and p sublevels are filled?
All the noble elements to the far right of the periodic table have their s and P sublevels in their valence shell filled, hence they are nonreactive.
Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?
There are 7 elements that satisfy this definition: Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Flourine.
What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?
Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
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.
Why p block elements are ot called transition elemets?
P block elements are not called transition elements because they do not have partially filled d subshells in their ground state electronic configuration. Transition elements are defined as those elements that have partially filled d subshells, which allows them to exhibit characteristics such as variable oxidation states and the formation of colored compounds. P block elements, on the other hand, have their valence electrons in the p subshell.
What is the maximum number of unpaired electrons in the s subshell and the d subshell and the p subshell and f subshell?
d subshell = 2 p subshell = 6
What group of elements have 2 electrons in s subshell and 4 electrons in p subshell of their atoms valence shell?
It is group 16, also known as the chalcogens
Why are the groups 13-18 called p-block elements?
it is the name of the electron subshell that it ends in.
Is carbon transition element?
Carbon is group 14 element and comes under p-block elements. It is because its last electrons fall into the p-subshell. Its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p2 . Transition elements are the elements of d-block.They are named so because their position in the Periodic Table lies between the s-block and p-block elements. They have their last electrons filled in the d-orbital.
Is any element there without p subshell in valence shell in p block elements?
He does not have a p sub-shell in the valent shell. Because He has the noble gas configuration it is included in the p block.
What is the maximum number of electrons a p subshell can contain?
A p subshell can contain a maximum of 6 electrons.
How many electrons can a 5p sublevel hold?
The 5p subshell is a p-subshell, and as such is filled by 6 electrons - three pairs spinning in opposite directions.The number of electrons in each subshell is as follows:Subshell s p d f theoretical next subshellsNo. of e- 2 6 10 14 18, 22, 26, etc.

Is fluorine a stable element?
Carbon is group 14 element and comes under p-block elements. It is because its last electrons fall into the p-subshell. Its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p2 . Transition elements are the elements of d-block.They are named so because their position in the periodic table lies between the s-block and p-block elements. They have their last electrons filled in the d-orbital.
What is the name of the compound with the formula Pl3?
It would be phosphorus (I) iodide. However, this is not a stable compound; under normal conditions phosphorus and iodine combine to produce phosphorus (III) iodide (which is also not stable ... it's explosive ... but is considerably more stable than phosphorus (I) iodide is). The electron configuration of the phosphorus in PI3 is [Ne]s2, while that of PI is [Ne]s2p2. The filled s subshell is at least metastable, while a filled s subshell plus a partially filled p subshell is normally not and requires considerable effort to maintain.
What is the name of elements whose outermost s and p sublevels are filled?
All the noble elements to the far right of the periodic table have their s and P sublevels in their valence shell filled, hence they are nonreactive.
