If you look at a periodic chart, you will see that each element has a number. That number gives the number of protons and electrons that each element contains. There are limits to the number of electrons that any orbital can contain. The orbitals are labeled: s, p, d, f, g, h, i, k. The first two atoms in the Periodic Table, Hydrogen and Helium, only have an s orbital. The s orbital holds two electrons. When the s orbital is full, as with Helium, it can not react with anything else. Helium is inert. The next row in the periodic table contains the p orbital. When the p orbital is full, as in Neon, then it can not react. If you look at the periodic table, the orbitals can hold more electrons and each element can hold more orbitals. If it becomes possible to create an element with several hundred protons, the orbitals could hold many electrons.
What else can I help you with?
Which orbitals are partially filled in Fe atoms?
In Fe atoms, the 3d orbitals are partially filled. Iron (Fe) has an electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2, where the 3d orbitals contain 6 electrons.
How many elements does the s orbital have?
Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
Each elecrton orbital can contain a maximum number of how many electrons?
Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)
Do electrons exist in orbitals?
No. An orbital describes an energy level (a Fermi energy level) in which an electron may exist for a given atom. Just because an electron is not in that orbital does not mean one cannot go there. An easy example would be ionized neon gas in a lamp. The high voltage forces electrons into higher orbitals where they check in and then check out, dumping a photon as they leave. The orbitals existed before they were used. Orbitals are clearly defined for a given atom as the descrete energy levels into which electrons may shift if they gain a sufficient (an exact) quantity of energy to make the jump.
Hund's rule states that an orbital can contain two electrons only if?
all other orbitals at that sublevel contain at least one electron (plato :P)
What is the difference between orbitals and shells in an atom's electron configuration?
In an atom's electron configuration, orbitals are regions where electrons are likely to be found, while shells are energy levels that contain orbitals. Orbitals are more specific and describe the shape and orientation of electron clouds, while shells are broader and represent the distance from the nucleus where electrons are located.
What is the relationship between orbitals, shells, and subshells in an atom's electron configuration?
In an atom's electron configuration, orbitals are regions where electrons are likely to be found. Shells are energy levels that contain orbitals, and subshells are groups of orbitals within a shell. Electrons fill orbitals within subshells and shells according to specific rules based on their energy levels.
What is the relationship between electron shells and orbitals in an atom?
Electron shells are energy levels where electrons are found in an atom, while orbitals are regions within those shells where electrons are most likely to be located. Each shell can contain multiple orbitals, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. The number of shells and orbitals in an atom depends on the element and its atomic structure.
In the molecule chlorine makes five covalent bonds Therefore five of its seven valence electrons need to be unpaired How many degenerate orbitals are needed to contain seven electrons with five o?
Three degenerate orbitals are needed to contain seven electrons with five unpaired. Two electrons will occupy two of the degenerate orbitals, while the remaining five electrons, each with one electron, will occupy the third degenerate orbital.
Which orbitals are partially filled in Fe atoms?
In Fe atoms, the 3d orbitals are partially filled. Iron (Fe) has an electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2, where the 3d orbitals contain 6 electrons.
According to Hunds' rule when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy one electron enters each orbit until?
All the orbitals contain one electron, with the same spins.
In the current model of the atom the electrons are located in the?
They orbit around the nucleas of an atom, except in hydrogen atoms, which does not contain electrons at all.
How many elements does the s orbital have?
Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
Each elecrton orbital can contain a maximum number of how many electrons?
Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)
What is the maximum number of electrons that an atomic orbitals can contain?
2
How many degenerate orbitals are needed to contain six electrons with two of them unpaired?
Three degenerate orbitals are needed to contain six electrons with two of them unpaired. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, totaling six electrons in three orbitals with two unpaired.
What is the electron cloud called?
Not exactly. An electron is an actual physical particle with a negative charge. An electron cloud is (generally) a spherical area around the nucleus of an atom that predicts where the electrons might be located.
