Hey there!:

The 1s, 2s and 2p subshells are completely filled (a maximum of two electrons go into the 1s subshell and a maximum of two electrons go into the 2s subshell.  The 2p subshell includes 3 orbitals, with 2 electrons maximum per orbital).  The 3s subshell has only one of a maximum of two electrons.

Hope that helps!

The number of orbitals that are completely full is 5.

The reason you may have thought it was 3 is because you're confusing orbitals with subshells.

In this electron configuration, the sub shells are:  1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^1

So, we have four sub shells.

Each sub shell consists of a specific number of orbitals. s subshells have one orbital, p subshells have three orbitals, d subshells have five orbitals, and f subshells have seven orbitals. Knowing this, we can look back at the electron configuration we were given and determine how many orbitals are filled.

1s^2 has one orbital, 2s^2 has one orbital, 2p^6 has three orbitals, and 3s^1 has one orbital. The first three subshells are completely full, so a total of five orbitals are full.

If 3.6 g of aluminum completely reacts, how much Al2O3 (in grams) can be produced
marissa [1.9K]

The amount in grams of  Al₂O₃ produced is approximately 6.80 g.

Aluminium reacts completely with oxygen(air) to produce Al₂O₃. The reaction can be represented with a chemical equation as follows:

AL + O₂ → Al₂O₃

Let's balance it

4AL + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

4 moles of Aluminium reacts with 3 moles of Oxygen molecules to produce 2 moles of Aluminium oxide. Therefore,

Since, aluminium reacts completely, it is the limiting reagent in the reaction. Therefore,

Atomic mass of AL = 27 g

Molar mass of  Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol

4(27 g) of AL gives 2(101.96 g) of  Al₂O₃

3.6 g of AL will give ?

cross multiply

mass of  Al₂O₃ produced = 3.6 × 203.92 / 108   = 734.112 / 108 = 6.797

mass of  Al₂O₃ produced = 6.80 g.
