In which orbitals would the valence electrons for selenium (Se) be placed?

Selenium falls in the same column with oxygen therefore it has the same number of valence electrons with oxygen which is 6. It fills the 3d orbital but only 4s and 4p are counted. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2

Explanation:

Selenium has 6 valence electrons, two of which are placed in the S orbital and 4 of which are placed in the P orbital. In its electron structure, it is quite comparable to oxygen.

At the first energy level, the only orbital accessible to electrons is the 1s orbital, but at the next level, as well as a 2s orbital, there are 2p orbitals. A p orbital is formed like 2 identical balloons tied commonly at the nucleus. The orbital shows where there is a 95% chance of getting a critical electron.

What we eat, and how we move our bodies, effects our blood. How does that end up affecting our other organs in the body
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The digestive system converts the foods we eat into their simplest forms, like glucose (sugars), amino acids (that make up protein) or fatty acids (that make up fats). The broken-down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell in the body.
