How is the shape of an electron cloud determined?
It is a surface of constant probability i.e. an electron is just as likely to be found in a small volume anywhere around this surface. Energy sublevel
What determines an energy level?
Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, which is prescribed by three rules - the aufbau principle, the Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule. (1) aufbau principle - States that each elcetron occupies the lowest energy orbital available. (2) Pauli exclusion principle - States that a maximum of two electrons may occupy a single atomic orbital, but omly if the electrons have opposite spins. (3) Hund's rule - States that single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equl-energy orbital before additional electrons with pposite spins can occupy the same orbitals.
Shelves where electrons can be found?
Energy Levels. 1st energy level can contain 2 Electrons 2nd energy level can contain 8 Electrons 3rd energy level can contain 18 Electrons 4th energy level can contain 36 Electrons
How many Energy sublevel are in the second principle energy level?
2 the s and p sublevels
How does the energy of core electrons compare with that of valence electrons?
The energy of the valence electrons is greater then the energy of the core electrons.APEX
Energy-favorable states for the d sublevel are when it contain electrons?
5 to 10
Why are the valence electrons of calcium in the 4s orbital not the 3d orbital?
The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.
In tungsten how many outer shells are there?
Tungsten atoms contain six energy levels (shells). The outermost energy level is the sixth energy level. It has two electrons in the 6s sublevel.
What is the second quantum number for the electrons in the 4p energy sublevel of bromine?
The second quantum number (l) for the electrons in the 4 p energy sublevel of bromine would be 1.
How would you justify the presence of 18 elements in the fifth of period of periodic table?
In the fifth period of the periodic table, the atoms of the elements in the first two groups are adding 1 and 2 electrons, respectively, to their highest energy 5s sublevel. Starting in group 3/IIIB and going through group 12/IIB, the atoms of those elements are adding electrons to their highest energy 4d sublevel. Since the d sublevel can contain a maxium of 10 electrons, there are 10 elements whose atoms are filling the 4d sublevel. Once the 4d sublevel is filled, the next higher energy sublevel is the 5p sublevel. Starting with the group 13/IIIA elements, the 5p sublevel is being filled. Since a p sublevel can contain a maximum of 6 electrons, there are six elements whose atoms are filling the 5p sublevel. 5s sublevel filling: 2 elements 4d sublevel filling: 10 elements 5p sublevel filling: 6 elements --------------------------------------- Total: 18 elements For a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations, go to the following link: http://www.nist.gov/pml/data/periodic.cfm
What is energy sublevel?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital
Why do you believe that the valence electrons of calcium and potassium reside in the 4s orbital rather than in the 3d orbital?
The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.
Why is it that all of the sub shells in a given shell have the same energy in the hydrogen atom whereas in a many-electron atom the sub shells in a given shell do not have the same energy?
The hydrogen atom only has one energy level (shell). The first energy level also contains only one sublevel, 1s sublevel (subshell), which can only hold two electrons. When you get to the second energy level in the second period on the periodic table, it has two sublevels, the 2s and the 2p sublevels. Both of the electrons in the 2s sublevel have the same energy. The 2p sublevel can hold 6 electrons. All of the electrons in the 2p sublevel have the same energy, which is higher than the energy in the 2s sublevel. So, as we move down the periods on the periodic table, we move from the first energy level to the seventh energy level. Each energy level contains specific numbers of sublevels, and all of the atoms within a particular sublevel have equal energy.
How many electrons occupy the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals?
90
What is the maximum number of electrons in the 3p sublevel?
An energy sublevel refers to an electron orbital, which are designated as s, p, d or f. The maximum number of electrons in a p-type energy sublevel is 6.
What is the correct electron configuration for an element with 5 electrons in the 3d energy sublevel?
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d5
How many 2p orbitals are there and what is the number of electrons they can hold?
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
