electron structure Flashcards
What is the shape of an s-orbital
speherical
How many electrons can be held in a d-subshell
10
How many electrons can fill the f-subshell
14
How many electrons can an orbital hold
2
How many electrons can the 4th shell hold?
32
How many electrons can be held in a p-subshell
6
how many orbitals are found in a s-subshell
1
What is a shell
A group of orbitals with the same principle quantum number
What is the equation for how many electrons each subshell holds
2n2
How many electrons can the 1st shell hold?
2
Why does the 4s orbital fill before the 3d orbital
4s orbital has a lower energy than 3d before it is filled
What are the rules by which electrons are arranged in the shell?
- Electrons are added one at a time
- Lowest available energy is filled first
- Each energy level must be filled before the next one can fill
- Each orbital is filled singly before pairing
- 4s is filled before 3d
How many orbitals does a p-subshell have
3
How many orbitals are present in a D-subshell
5
How many orbitals are found in an F-subshell
