Chemistry

The reason nonmetals are electrical insulator is since valence shells in nonmetal atoms are almost full, the atoms attract electrons and hold them tightly to fill their valence. The reason why it acts as an insulator is the high ionization energy it has. It prevents any electron from leaving an atom easily even when an electric field is applied.

What information is needed to determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom? a) n. b) l. c) ml. d)ms
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Explanation:

The quantum number n specifies the energetic level of the orbital, the first level being the one with the least energy. As n increases, the probability of finding the electron near the nucleus decreases and the orbital energy increases.

In the case of atoms with more than one electron, the quantum number l also determines the sublevel of energy in which an orbital is found, within a certain energy level. The value of l is designated by the letters s, p, d, and f.

Have a nice day!
