Paired electrons are represented by what dots?
An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.
What does an orbital do in an atom?
it holds the amount of electrons.
Regions inside the atom where electrons are likely to be found are called?
An atomic orbital is a region in an atom in which there is a high probability of finding electrons.
What subatomic particle occupies the cloudlike space that surrounds the atom's core?
The electrons occupy the electron cloud. It is not a cloud at all; it is simply a region where electrons are most likely to be found.
What are Particles that occupy a zone relatively far from the nucleus of an atom?
ELECTRONS
How many electrons occupy p orbital in silicon atom?
8

An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.
What is an atomic orbitial?
An atomic orbital is a type of space in an atom. It refers to the space where electrons usually surround the nucleus. This orbital is also used for creating covalent bonds.
What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?
according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.
Which parts of an atom occupy the space around the nucleus?
Electrons surround the nucleus. (Or in the case of a hydrogen atom, just one electron.)
What is a molecular orbital?
A cloud of electrons orbit an atom and its nucleus.
In an atom the first orbital is complete when it has how many electrons?
Any orbital is complete when it contains 2 electrons.
What does an orbital do in an atom?
it holds the amount of electrons.
Can a stable atom have an orbital which has three electrons?
Yes, if the orbital is the outermost one that includes the valence electrons. Aluminum, for example, is such an atom, as is boron.
What are three major sub-atomic particles?
In the nucleus of the atom you have the protons and neutrons. In the orbital space around the nucleus are the electrons.
What makes the volume of an atom?
An atom is made up of protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by electrons in orbital shells. The majority of the volume however, is empty space.
Where is the electron most likely to be found in the nucleus of an atom?
An atom mostly consists of empty space. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in a fixed orbit .
