Explain the relationship between electrons orbitals and energy levels?
Bekahhhxx
Briefly:
- The electrons are in orbitals, each orbital can take two electrons and each electron would have an opposite spin. Orbitals can have no electrons, one electron or be filled with two electrons.
- Orbitals are arranged in energy levels. However, even in the same energy level different orbitals will have different energy despite being in the same main energy level.
- The energy level nearest the nucleus has 1 orbital: 1s
- The next energy level, the second energy level has four orbitals: 2s and three p orbitals. The 2p orbitals have more energy than the 2s orbital. The third energy level has 3s x1; 3p x 3 and 3d x 5 however, the 3d orbitals have an energy which actually places them in the fourth energy level between 4s and 4p. It gets complicated.

∙ 13y agoThere are actually many orbits per energy level. The number of orbits per energy level increases as you get farther away from the nucleus.

Make a prediction about the relationship between electrons and molecular shapes?
no
What is difference between explain and describe?
Describe is what it is and explain is why it is as it is
Why do you see colors in flame tests?
When an atom is in the flame, an electron in the outer shell of that atom receives energy from the flame and jumps up to a higher shell position. This electron then falls back to is original position and in doing so emits a photon of light of a specific energy. You see this light as a color. Atoms from different elements have different numbers of electrons in their electron shells so the photons emitted as these electrons jump back are all of different energy and therefore emit light of a different color. The color of the flame in the flame test therefore helps to identify the element in the flame producing the colored light.

What makes something a theory in science?
An Hypothesis is a guess as to the relationship between two things. A Theory is a provable relationship between two things. Example would include Pythagoras Theorem. A theorem will reliably predict a result and explain the connection. Sometimes Theories are called Laws - such as Ohm's Law, Boyle's Law, Laws of refraction and so on.
How are electrons inolved in bonding between atoms?
The electrons are shared in the last orbitals of both atoms thus binding them together
What is the sharing of electrons between atoms to fill their outer orbitals called?
Formation of covalent bonds.
What is the difference between a valence electron and a shielding electron?
Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost shell/orbitals. Sheilding electrons are inner electrons that block valence electrons from protons causing less attraction.
What is the difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Bonding molecular orbitals result from constructive interference of atomic orbitals, leading to increased electron density between nuclei and a lower energy state. Anti-bonding molecular orbitals result from destructive interference and have a node between nuclei, which weakens the bond and raises the energy of the molecular system.
What is the maximum number of electrons that the f sublevel can hold?
f has 14 electrons in 7 sublevel orbitals,d has 10 electrons in 5 sublevel orbitals,p has 6 electrons in 3 sublevel orbitals,s has 2 electrons in 1 sublevel orbital.

What do electrons do in Bohr's model of atoms?
In Bohr's atomic model, electrons are in specific orbitals (NOT orbits), which are at specific energy levels. An electron can go directly from one orbital to another, but it can never be in-between any two orbitals. The energy level of these orbitals is specified by angular momentum being quantized.
Why do electrons first fill degenerate orbitals in an unpaired manner and then in a paired manner as more electrons are placed into those orbitals?
Electrons first fill degenerate orbitals in an unpaired manner due to Hund's rule, which states that electrons will first occupy empty orbitals and with parallel spins before pairing up. Once all the degenerate orbitals have at least one electron, they pair up to minimize repulsion between electrons and stabilize the system. This results in a lower overall energy state for the atom.
Archimedes principle helps to explain the relationship between what?
Archimedes principle helps explain the relationship between weight and volume. The term is specific gravity.
How are electrons involved in light?
None, light is composed of photons. Light may be emitted or absorbed when electrons undergo transitions between atomic or molecular orbitals, but the light itself does not contain electrons.
