Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3D orbital

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel. (:

Now select a longer period, say the fourth period, starting with the element in the 1A group. Again, go from left to right. What
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The pattern of change in the electron configuration increases from left to right across the period.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, elements having the same number of electrons in the outermost shell of their atoms are placed over one another in vertical columns. Each of the vertical columns is known as a group or family. while each of the resulting horizontal rows is known as a period or row.

There are 18 vertical columns and seven periods in the periodic table. Each period begins with an atom having a valence electron and ends with an atom having a complete outer shell structure of an inert gas.

The fourth period of the periodic table (d-block) consists of the transition elements.

The electron distribution into the energy levels of sublevels of atoms  can be shown in any of the tree important electronic configuration.

Electronic configuration shows the sequence of filling electrons into the orbitals of the sublevels as guided by some principles.

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sublevels are two for s-sublevel(one orbital) ; six for p-sublevel( three orbital); ten for d-sublevel ( five orbitals) and fourteen for f-sublevel( seven orbitals). This indicates that the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is two

In the Periodic table ,The sublevels with lower energies are filled  up before those with higher energies. One important thing about this principle is that the sublevels do not fill up in numerical order. The pattern of filling is as follows:

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f etc.

Of the molecules below, only ________ is polar.a. SiCl4 b. CH4 c. CCl4 d. SeF4
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

SeF4 is a polar molecule

Explanation:

SeF4 is a polar molecule because a polar molecule is any molecule that have lone pairs of electrons in the central atom or have atoms that are electronegative and the electrons between that are covalently bonded are not evenly distributed.

The electronegative atoms of flourine in SeF4 are not evenly distributed and kind pairs of electrons are on the central atom.

(20 POINTS!!) please help me write a short reference page on chemical bonds (anything helps)
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms. ... Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals.

7 Which physical characteristic of a solution may
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

2= its color

Explanation:

Transition elements are present in the middle of periodic table. These are d-block elements.

These are 38 elements.

All transition elements have partially filled d orbitals.

They showed color in compound because of d-d transition.

During the d-d transition electron absorbed the energy and emit the reminder energy. The emission is usually in the form of color light.

The color of ion is complementary to the absorbed color.

The transition elements are used as a catalyst in industries such as polymer, petroleum industries.

They are ductile, conduct heat and electricity.
