How do electrons typically fill energy levels?

1 answer:

7 0

The electrons fill energy levels from the lowest available energy level, based of three typical rules.

1) Follow Aufbau rule: fill from lower to higher energy levels (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p)

2) Pauly exclusion principle: two electrons can not have the same four quantum numbers

3) Hund rule: if the orbitals have the same energy, the electrons must go to different orbitals before two occupies the same orbital.

The definition of heat transfer through convection involves the movement of a fluid that causes heat to move away from a hear source. That being said, convection can take place in a lake, air inside, and air outside since both liquids and gasses are considered to be fluids. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Answer:

This isotope has 59 electrons giving it a charge of -2.

Explanation:

To find this we have to understand isotope relates to the mass of the nucleus. This isotope has 59 electrons to counter the protons and give it a negative charge.
