What is the total number of orbitals found in the second energy level? openstudy?

Chemistry

kkurt [141]3 years ago

Explanation:

Second energy level consists of one "s" sub-shell and a "p" sub-shell. So, in a "s" sub-shell there is only one orbital. Whereas in a "p" sub-shell there are 3 orbitals which are p_{x}, p_{y}, and p_{z}.

Also, each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons.

Therefore, we can conclude that in total there are four orbitals (one from s and three from p) found in the second energy level.

On the second shell there are two individual subshells:
The "s" subshell has only 1 orbital with max. two electrons spinning around; and the so-called "p" subshell has 3 orbitals with max. 6 electrons (2 on each!)
In total, there are four orbitals with 8 revolving electrons on the second shell.
Hope could help :)

A little boy has placed his pet squirrel into a balloon with a volume of 3L at a pressure of 1.0 atm. If the boy takes his pet s
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: The squirrel's balloon will be 0.86 L

Explanation:

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=1.0atm\\V_1=3L\\P_2=3.5atm\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.0\times 3L=3.5\times V_2\\\\V_2=0.86

Thus the squirrel's balloon will be 0.86 L

What is the total number of protons in an atom with the electron configuration 2-8-18-32-18-1.
svp [43]

The total number of protons in this atom is 79 because an atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons. Here, the atomic number is 79 after adding the given electronic configuration.

What are Protons?

Every atom has a proton, a subatomic particle, in its nucleus. The particle possesses an electrical charge that is positive and opposite to the electrons.

What is Atom?

A nucleus plus one or more electrons bound to the nucleus make up an atom. The quantity of protons or electrons in an element's atom determines how different it is from other similar elements. The atomic number of an element, which serves as its primary identification, is the sum of its protons or electrons.

What is Electronic configuration?

The arrangement of electrons in atomic or molecular orbitals within an atom, molecule, or other physical structure is known as the electron configuration.

Hence, the total number of protons in this atom is 79, after adding 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 + 18 + 1.

A molecule of pentane is made of 5 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. a collection of pentane molecules has 3.01 x 1024 carbon
Novay_Z [31]

3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (12/5) hydrogen atoms  
Looking at the formula for the molecule, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms is 5:12, so if we divide the number of carbon atoms by 5 and then multiply by 12, we can find the number of hydrogen atoms. Let's look at the available options and see what makes sense.  
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (12/5) hydrogen atoms 
* This is exactly correct.  
(3.01 Ă— 10^24 / 5) hydrogen atoms 
* Nope. This will tell you how many pentane MOLECULES you have, but not the number of hydrogen atoms.  
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (5/12) hydrogen atoms 
* Close, but the ratio (5/12) will tell you the number of carbon atoms you have if you give it the number of hydrogen atoms. So this choice is wrong.  
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— 12 hydrogen atoms description 
* This would tell you the number of hydrogen atoms you have if you know the number of pentane molecules you have. So this choice is also wrong.
