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.

Explain why beryllium looses electrons while ionic bonds,while Sulfur gains electrons.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Since Beryllium has a larger atomic radius than Sulphur its electrons are not strongly attracted to the nucleus hence lost easily. But Sulphur has a small atomic radius hence electrons are more closely attracted to the nucleus.

How many sigma bonds in a single bond
Katarina [22]

Answer:

single bond= 1 sigma bond

so basically 1

Explanation:

Usually, all bonds between atoms in most organic compounds contain one sigma bond each. If it is a single bond, it contains only sigma bond. Multiple bonds (double and triple), however, contains sigma and pi bonds. Double bonds have one each, and triple bonds have one sigma bond and two pi bonds

Tanya [424]
I believe that it is A. If you remember in lesson 03.03 it gave multiple examples of things that support the continental drift theory. One of them was fossils of the same organisms found in different continents.

Please help me I will really appreciate it !!!! And Please no links
BigorU [14]

Explanation:

Steaming up or fogging happens when steam condenses on the mirror. Steam emerging from hot water can condense on a colder surface. That’s the reason you can see the result on a mirror instantaneously. Obviously, for a bathroom mirror to steam up, the steam that originates at the shower spray (or the bathtub) has to travel through the cooler air to reach the mirror. Since air tends to heat up easily, the mirror can steam up fast.
