Which is the lowest energy that can have a s orbital?

Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level


What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?

The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.


Which is the lowest energy level having f orbital?

The lowest energy level that contains f orbitals is the fourth energy level, which is represented by the principal quantum number n=4. The f orbitals are found within the subshell designated as f.


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.


What states that an electron occupies the lowest energy orbital that can receive it?

The principle that states an electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available is known as the Aufbau principle. According to this principle, electrons fill atomic orbitals in order of increasing energy levels, starting from the lowest energy level. This process continues until all the electrons are placed in the available orbitals, ensuring that the most stable electron configuration is achieved.


What is the lowest value of 'n' that allows 'g' orbital to exist?

Why does one electron in a rubidium atom occupy a 5s orbital rather than a 4d or 4f orbital?

The 5s orbital has a lower energy level than the 4d or 4f orbitals in a rubidium atom, according to the aufbau principle. Electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest energy level. This is why the electron fills the 5s orbital before the 4d or 4f orbitals in a rubidium atom.


What is the energy level and orbital for K?

Assuming K stands for potassium, an element with 19 electrons, the electron configuration is as follows: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s13p64s1 The electron configuration shows the orbitals is order of energy level. The 4s orbital being at the highest energy level and the 1s orbital being at the lowest energy level. As 2px, 2py and 2pz exist, there are three 2p orbitals that occur at the p level, allowing the element to carry 6 electrons, 2 in each orbital. There is a specific order in listing the orbitals
