Best Answer

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

How can you tell the doffermce between 2s subshell and 2p subshell?

You can tell the difference between a 2s sub-shell and 2p sub-shell from their energy levels, because a 2p sub-shell is a higher energy level than a 2s sub-shell.

What number of electrons that can be held in first orbit closest to the nucleus?

The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)


Why is 2d1 not possible?

A break down of 2d1:2 = the quantum energy level or electron shell denoted as 'n'd = the sub-shell of the energy level (known as a degenerate level)1 = the number of electrons occupying the sub-shell.Through extensive research by scientists, no known element has a d sub-shell in the second (n=2) energy level. In fact, the d sub-shell does not appear until the fourth period (fourth row).The first d sub-shell is known to be in the third energy level (therefore the first energy level with this sub-shell is 3d, but not 2d).Transition metals are the elements known to fill the d sub-shells. The first transition metal in the periodic table is scandium (Sc) with the electron configuration of [Ar]4s23d1.The reasons for the formation of sub-shell of d is beyond my knowledge and the scope of basic chemistry.


How many electrons in 2d xy?

The 2d sub energy level does not exist. The first shell to contain a d sub-shell is the third shell: the 3d sub-shell contains a maximum of 10 electrons, with two electrons in each of five different d orbitals.
