Best Answer

They are further away from the nucleus and easier to remove (requires less energy), i.e. first ionization is less.

Why does 4s orbital start filling while 3p orbital is empty?

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.

Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.

Which orbital is rhodium's last electron in?

If you are filling in the electrons it will be in the 4d orbital. If you are removing electrons the first to come out is in the 5s electrons since transition metals lose 's' electrons before 'd' electrons


How do you check paramagnetism and diamagnetism?

First make the m.o (molecular orbital) diagram. If the electrons are paired in an orbital then it is diamagnetic . If the electrons are not paired then it is paramagnetic.
