Which number represents the shape of an electron subshell?

The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.


What are the small superscripts representing in an electron configuration?

To use the example of helium, which has theelectronic structure 1s2. The 1 refers to the orbital number (1, 2, 3 etc, also known as the principal quantum number), the letter refers to the orbital type (s, p, d, f which corresponds to the azimuthal quantum number), and finally the superscript 2 refers to the number of electrons in that orbital.So for helium's 1s2 we have 2 electrons in the 1s orbital (filling it).Another example could be atomic iron which has the [Ar] 3d6 4s2 configuration. This is the argon electronic structure (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6), and then 6 electrons in the 3d orbitals, and 2 electrons in the 4s orbital as well.


The letter p in the symbol 4p3 indicates the what?

The letter "p" in the symbol 4p3 indicates the variable representing a number that is to be raised to the power of 3.


Letter xyz represent what of orbital?

Cartesian coordinates. However ... there are 3 p orbitals for each principal quantum number, but representing them as px, py, and pz is simply a human mathematical convenience; they're all equivalent and it's simply a convenient way of orthogonalizing them. The d and f orbital names and representations are even less "real".


The letter that signifies the fourth sublevel?

The letter that signifies the fourth sublevel is "f". It corresponds to the fourth energy level (n=4) in an electron configuration.

What are the possible values of the magnetic quantum number ml?

The magnetic quantum number ml depends on the orbital angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number, l, which in turn depends on the principal quantum number, n. The orbital angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number, l, runs from 0 to (n-1) where n is the principal quantum number. l= 0 is an s orbital, l= 1 is a p subshell, l= 2 is a d subshell, l=3 is an f subshell. The magnetic quantum number, ml, runs from -l to +l (sorry this font is rubbish the letter l looks like a 1) so for an f orbital the values are -3. -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, so 7 f orbitals in total. ml "defines " the shape of the orbital and the number within the subshell.


Which of the orbital namely 1p2s2p and 3f are not possible give reason of your answer?

The orbital 1p2s2p is not possible because the electron configuration notation generally does not include numbers in the orbital names. The notation should typically follow the format: principal energy level (n) followed by the subshell letter (s, p, d, f) and the number of electrons in that subshell. The orbital 3f is not possible in the electron configuration scheme for elements up to and including the actinide series. The "f" orbitals appear in the lanthanide and actinide series, but for elements in the main periodic table, the "f" orbitals are not included.

When the magnetic quantum number m depends on the possible values of?

It depends whether you mean ml or ms.There are 4 quantum numbers, n, l, ml, msThey have long names respectively principal, azimuthal (angular momentum), magnetic and spin.n can have values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5......l depends on n, and can have values, 0 to (n-1) (0 is an s orbital, 1 is a p subshell, 2 is a d subshell, 3 is a f subshell etcml can have -l to +l (sorry this font is rubbish the letter l looks like a 1) so for a d orbital, where l = 2, it can be -2, -1 0, +1, +2. Five d orbitals in all.ms can be -1/2 or +1/2 (These are the maximum of 2 electrons having opposite spin)l depends on n, and can have values, 0 to (n-1) (0 is an s orbital, 1 is a p subshell, 2 is a d subshell, 3 is a f subshell etcRead more: What_are_the_possible_values_for_the_quantum_numbers


What is sub shell letter?

Subshell letters indicate electron shells. The letters K-Q or numbers 1-7 are called subshell letters. They are placed in superscript form.


What is the meaning of K-subshell?

The K-subshell is the first electron shell in an atom, labeled with the letter K. It can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Subshells further divide into orbitals.
