Answer:

18 electrons

Explanation:

There can be up to 2 electrons in 1 orbital.

In the level 3, there are 3 sublevels: 3s, 3p and 3d.

  • The sublevel 3s has 1 orbital 3s, thus, 1 × 2 e⁻ = 2 e⁻.
  • The sublevel 3p has 3 orbitals 3p, thus, 3 × 2 e⁻ = 6 e⁻.
  • The sublevel 3d has 5 orbitals 3d, thus 5 × 2 e⁻ = 10 e⁻.

The total number of electrons is 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 e⁻.

Alternatively, we can find the number of electrons in a level using the formula:

2n² = 2 × 3² = 2 × 9 = 18 electrons

According to Neils Bohr, the atomic structure is described as electrons orbiting around the nucleus in orbitals. Each orbital holds two electrons that are oppositely spinning, according to Pauli's Exclusion Principle. These orbitals are then located in sub-shells of varying energy levels. There are 4 types of these sub-shells. In order of decreasing energy, they are the s, p ,d and f sub-shells. They differ in shape and energy levels. The s sub-shell holds 1 orbital, p holds 3, d holds 5 and f holds 7 orbitals. These sub-shells are oriented according to their principal quantum number, n. There are a total of 7 energy levels with 1 being the strongest and closest to the nucleus, and 14 being the weakest and farthest to the nucleus. You will see that electrons are filled from the strongest 1s orbitals, to the weakest 7f orbital.

Thus, in the energy level n=3, there are 3s, 3p, 3d and 3f sub-shells. The total electrons for this energy level is. therefore, 

Total electrons = 1(2) + 3(2) + 5(2) + 7(2) = 32 electrons

The 2rd energy level can hold up to 16 orbitals containing two electron each. That would be 32 electrons all in all.

Is rubbing alcohol polar, non-polar, or ionic?
Karolina [17]

Answer: Rubbing alcohol molecules have a polar and nonpolar part, which means they are able to form hydrogen bonds with water and therefore able to mix with it.

In the flame test, barium ions produce a green flame whereas calcium ions produce a red flame. In your own words, explain these
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The Barium flame is green because it is a difficult flame to excite, therefore for it to trigger a flame it is necessary that it be too excited for it to occur.

The reddish color of calcium is due to its high volatility and it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate it from strontium.the compression of these elements is due to being able to make them work during combustion

Explanation:

The flame test is a widely used qualitative analysis method to identify the presence of a certain chemical element in a sample. To carry it out you must have a gas burner. Usually a Bunsen burner, since the temperature of the flame is high enough to carry out the experience (a wick burner with an alcohol tank is not useful). The flame temperature of the Bunsen burner must first be adjusted until it is no longer yellowish and has a bluish hue to the body of the flame and a colorless envelope. Then the tip of a clean platinum or nichrome rod (an alloy of nickel and chromium), or failing that of glass, is impregnated with a small amount of the substance to be analyzed and, subsequently, the rod is introduced into the flame, trying to locate the tip in the least colored part of the flame.

The electrons in these will jump to higher levels from the lower levels and immediately (the time that an electron can be in higher levels is of the order of nanoseconds), they will emit energy in all directions in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light) of frequencies characteristics. This is what is called an atomic emission spectrum.

At a macroscopic level, it is observed that the sample, when heated in the flame, will provide a characteristic color to it. For example, if the tip of a rod is impregnated with a drop of Ca2 + solution (the previous notation indicates that it is the calcium ion, that is, the calcium atom that has lost two electrons), the color observed is brick red .

Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Well you can not serve it because it is a slow cooker it cooks slow and the refrigerator uses power.Stove tops use power too, I wouldn't feed it to the dog because it whatever you made could possibly make the dog sick and throwing it away is a waste of money. Out of all of those explanations choose the best one. Which ever one you pick whether right or wrong, think about it.
