Can someone explain subshell/electron configuration to me?

There are four layers of these electrons are, s, p, d, and f.

Each one has a certain number of shells, in different shapes, that can hold two electrons.

S- Has one shell, shaped like a circle, so in total can hold 2 electrons.

P- has three shells, shaped like an infinity symbol, so in total can hold 6 electrons

D- has five shells, shaped, err, dunno how to describe it, can hold 10 electrons.

F- has 7 shells, um, even more dunno how to describe it, can hold 14 electrons

There doesn't only have to be one of each shell though. There can be two S levels, and one P level, and no D or F levels.

(search up electron configuration it'll have a chart of the order in which these come in)

Each layer will be stated as Number layer electron number.

For example, the first layer of electron level would be 1, because it's the first layer, S, because that's what the first layer is, and if it was completely filled, 2.

So, 1s2.

If you were going to add another level, which would also be a S level, but it only has one electron, you would say:

2s1,

because it's the second s level and has one electron in it.

And to put the two together, just say:

1s2, 2s1

NOTE: if you were going to add another level, it would be a P level, but it wouldn't be 3p something, it would be 1p something because it is the first electron level.

Another note: if you have three layers of electrons, or just six electrons, you would just say 1p6. (because the P orbital can hold 6 electrons)

Hope this helped!

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

    wo = 18.75 rev / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise in endowment kinematics, it indicates that the final angular velocity is w_f = 109 rad / s, the time to reach this velocity is t = 1.87 s and the deceleration a = 4.7 rad / s²

         w_f = w₀ - a t

         w₀ = w_f + a t

         w₀ = 109 + 4.7 1.87

         w₀ = 117.8 rad / s

let's reduce to revolutions / s

         w₀ = 117.8 rad / s (1 rev / 2pi rad)

         w₀ = 18.75 rev / s

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation
Masteriza [31]
Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.4 m below. The droplets are fal
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The third drop is 0.26m

Explanation:

The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:

T=sqrt(2h/g)

T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]

T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)

T= sqrt(0.4898)

T= 0.70seconds

4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds

The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds

Third drop will fall at t= 0.23

h=1/2gt^2

h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2

h= 0.26m

kompoz [17]

Answer:

I do not think that it is the most reliable way to gain information since it is very hard to do and can be easily messed up. No, I don't think you can charge someone on only evidence from blood spatter, but if there was additional evidence I think that this would definitely help with the case but not on its own, since it doesn’t give you physical evidence about the suspect.

Nearly monochromatic light of wavelength 420 nm is split in two beams. The first beam traveled 105 nm to the screen more than th
leva [86]

Answer:

phase difference = π / 2

constructive interference

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 420 nm

1st beam = 105 nm

path difference = 105 nm

to find out

phase difference  and interference pattern of the two beams

solution

we use here equation of phase difference that is

phase difference = 2π / wavelength × Δx

put here value

phase difference = 2π / 420 × 105

phase difference = π / 2

and

we know that  here path difference Δx is the integral multiple of the wavelength  so it will be constructive interference

Δx is wavelength / 4
