shell layer
Equation for how many electrons a shell can hold
2n^2
Shell n = 1 electron capacity
2
Shell n = 2 electron capacity
8
Shell n = 3 electron capacity
18
Shell n = 4 electron capacity
32
Which shell has the least amount of energy
n = 1
Which shell has the most amount of energy
n = largest number
What is the ground state of an atom
arrangement of electrons that has the lowest total energy
What is an excited state
one or more of an atom’s electrons are located in higher energy shells
What is relaxation
When an excited electron drop back down into it’s lower energy levels
What is emitted when electrons relax? How is it related to wavelength?
Electrons emit light, the amount of eV the electron loses is the same amount of energy possessed by the light wave
What subshell is in n=1 and how many electrons can it hold
S = 2
What subshell is in n=2 and how many electrons can it hold
S = 2, P = 6
What subshell is in n=3 and how many electrons can it hold
S = 2, P = 6, D = 10
What subshell is in n=4 and how many electrons can it hold
S= 2, P = 6, D = 10, F = 14
What is electron confiuration
the arrangements of electrons in the shells and subshells
