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!

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

∧·······∵·······∴·······Hello :D········∴·······∵·······∧

How is Mass or volume change affect density?: Density is an intensive property of the material or substance and depends upon the relationship between the mass and volume. Unless the mass changes in relation to the volume, the density will not change.

Are mass and volume related?: Mass and volume are two units used to measure objects. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while volume is how much space it takes up.We can say that the volume of the object is directly proportional to its mass. As the volume increases the mass of the object increases in direct proportion.

How can density of an object be determined?: If the mass of an object increases then its density increases because density is directly proportional to mass.

How do we know the sun rotate
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

From the movement of sunspots, Galileo discovered that sun rotate s on its own axis.

Explanation:

All the sunspots are traveling across the Sun's head. This movement is part of the Sun's general rotation of its axis. Observations also suggest that the Sun does not rotate like a solid body, but rotates differently because it is a gas. Actually the Sun is spinning faster at its equator than at at its poles. The Sun rotates once every 24 days at its equator, but only once every 35 days at its poles. We learn this by observing the movement of sunspots and other solar features pass through the Sun.
