21
Q

What letter is used to represent shell number?

A

n

22
Q

From which shell onwards is s orbital present?

A

n= 1

23
Q

From which shell onwards is p orbital present?

A

n= 2

24
Q

From which shell onwards is d orbital present?

A

n= 3

25
Q

From which shell onwards is f orbital present?

A

n= 4

26
Q

What are the rules by which electrons are arranged in the shell? (5)

A
  • Electrons are added one at a time
  • Lowest available energy level 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
27
Q

Why does the 4s orbital fill before the 3d orbital?

A

4s orbital has a lower energy than 3d before it’s filled

28

A

2 2 6 2 6 2 10 6

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p

29
Q

Which electrons are lost when an atom becomes a positive ion?

A
