What else can I help you with?
What happens when an electron in a higher electron cloud drops to a lower energy cloud?
It gains energy in a quantized amount
What happens when electrons change levels?
Energy is either absorbed or released. If the electron goes from a high energy orbital to a lower energy one, a photon is emitted. When a photon is absorbed, the electron goes from low energy to high.
How do energy levels of electrons compare?
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^
What is the energy of electron in first orbit?
The energy of an electron in the first orbit of a hydrogen atom is -13.6 electron volts (eV). This energy value represents the lowest energy level in the atom and is known as the ground state energy.
Are the highest energy levels always filled first?
No, the tendency is to fill out lower energy levels first.
How many electrons can be the first energy level in the electron cloud hold?
The first energy level in the electron cloud can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Do sodium and chlorine have the same number of electron energy levels?
Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.
What is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy level list separately?
is the electron cloud
What is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud?
The electron configuration of an atom is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. This is an indication of the different orbitals that are occupied by electrons in the atom.
Which noble gas has only two energy levels?
Helium is the noble gas that has only two energy levels in its electron configuration. Its electron configuration is 1s2, which means it has two electrons in the first and only energy level.
What sub levels are contained in the hydrogen atoms first four energy levels?
The hydrogen atom has only one electron.
How many electron levels in magnesium?
Magnesium has three electron levels, also known as energy levels or shells. The electron configuration of magnesium is 2-8-2, indicating that it has two electrons in its first energy level, eight electrons in its second energy level, and two electrons in its third energy level.
What is the area surrounding the atom where electrons are located?
Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
How many electron levels does chlorine have?
I believe that answer is the same as its atomic number, witch is 17.
How many electron clouds are in a atom of gold?
There's only one electron cloud per atom so i think you mean how many electron shells there are or how many levels. If you know the number of protons that gold has then you know the number of electrons it has. The first levels holds 2 electrons, the second holds 8, the third holds up to 18 but is stable with eight and each level after that only holds up to 18. so if an atom has 10 electrons, the first level will hold 2 and the second will hold 8 which add up to 10 electrons. so I'm pretty sure you can do the math
How many levels are in an electrically neutral sodium atom?
An electrically neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. These electrons occupy different energy levels or shells around the nucleus. Sodium has 3 electron shells or levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level up to 1 electron.
If an atom has 11 electrons how many energy levels will it have?
The atom will have 3 energy levels. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third level can hold the remaining electron.
