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!

As a vector, displacement has which qualities? magnitude only, direction only, magnitude and direction, neither magnitude or dir
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
In physical science, there are two types of quantity: scalar and vector. While scalar quantities only include the magnitude, vector quantities include both the magnitude and the direction. Displacement is an example of vector quantities. Therefore, it includes magnitude and direction.

How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?
ikadub [295]
D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

Object A and Object B are 100 meters apart. If Object A gains some
satela [25.4K]

The gravitational force between the two objects A) It increases.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

In this problem, object A and object B are initially at a distance of

r = 100 m

And at that distance, the force between them is

F

Later, object A gains some mass. We notice from eq.(1) that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of either of the two objects increases, then the gravitational force between them also increases. Therefore, the new force will be larger than the original force:

F' > F
