The atoms on the outermost level are called electrons.
Answer: The energy of the 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell.
Explanation:
During the filling of electrons in subshells, the lower energy levels are filled before the higher energy levels. Also known as Aufbau principle.
Energy of the sublevel = (n + l)
where : n = Principal quantum number
l = Azimuthal quantum number(s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)
Energy of 4-s subshell= (4+0) = 4
Energy of 3-d subshell=(3+2) = 5
Energy of 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell, that is why 4s orbital is filled before the 3-d subshell.
W = AB x F x Cos < AB, F
or just W= AB x F for short
