The fourth period, or fourth row, of the periodic table contains the elements from Z = 19 (potassium) to Z = 36 (kripton).

The abbreviated electron configuratin of potassium is K = [Ar] 4s.

Where [Ar] is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.

The next element, Calcium, Z = 20, has electron configuration Ca = [Ar] 4s2.

Starting the next element, Scandium, Z = 21, the atoms start to fill the 3d  orbitals. Scandium has electron configuration Sc = [Ar] 4s2 3d.

The 3d orbitals permit to accomodate 10 electrons. So, the filling of 3d orbitals end with the element Z = 30, wich is zinc. The electron configuration of zinc is Zn =[Ar] 4s2 3d10.

So, starting with the element Z = 31 (gallium) until Z = 36, this is 6 elements, will fill the 4p orbitals.Those are Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br and Kr.

The answer is that six elements in the fourth period of the periodic table have one or more 4p electrons. You can find those elements in the right side of the period and are from 13 group to 18 group.

Are ALL cations positive or negative ions
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:  Ions result from atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more valence electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge. Those with a negative charge are called anions and those with a positive charge are called cations. Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. ... And all of them form an anion with a single negative charge. The VIA elements gain two electrons to form anions with a 2- charge.

How are electrons excited in element?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

By absorbing energy electron is jump into higher energy level. This is called excitation.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
