What else can I help you with?
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 is subshell or sub energy level?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
What does the 1s mean?
The term "1s" typically refers to the orbital energy level in an atom. It represents the first energy level or shell where electrons are located. In the 1s orbital, electrons are closest to the nucleus and have the lowest energy.
Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3d orbital?
because its energy level is lower
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 is the highest occupied energy level in Beryllium?
The highest occupied energy level in Beryllium is the 2s orbital. Beryllium has 4 electrons, with 2 electrons in the 1s orbital and 2 electrons in the 2s orbital.
Does the first element in each period represent electrons starting to fill the s orbital of a new energy level?
Yes.
What is the electron configuration of an element?
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.
How many electrons can the 3rd energy level have?
it can be a logical amount of info but there are 3 indefinatlly
Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?
Yes, valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level or orbital of an atom. These electrons are involved in determining the chemical properties of an element and its ability to bond with other atoms.
How many d electrons can there be in an energy level?
There can be 10 electrons in a D orbital
How do you find out how many electrons are in the higher energy level of nitrogen?
Nitrogen has 7 electrons in total. In its ground state, nitrogen has two electrons in the 1s orbital and five electrons in the 2p orbital. Therefore, there are 3 electrons in the higher energy level (2p orbital) of nitrogen.
How many electrons can be held in the fourth orbital?
The fourth orbital, which is the 4d orbital, can hold up to 10 electrons. This orbital has a higher energy level than the 3d orbital and can accommodate more electrons. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons per subshell (s, p, d, f).
How many electrons are in the outer energy levels of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4?
There are 18 electrons in total, and the outer energy levels are the 4s and 3d orbitals. Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the 4s orbital and 4 electrons in the 3d orbital, making a total of 6 electrons in the outer energy levels.
What are the differences between the 1s orbital and the 2s orbital in terms of their electron configuration and energy levels?
The 1s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and is closer to the nucleus, while the 2s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and is at a higher energy level.
What is subshell or sub energy level?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital
