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 :)

Which pair of elements will form a covalent bond?
Dominik [7]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when there occurs sharing of electrons between atoms.

For example, in hydrogen atom there is one electron in its orbit and in a chlorine atom there is 7 valence electron. So, in order to attain stability both hydrogen and chlorine share electrons when they come close to each other.

Whereas except hydrogen and chlorine rest of the given atoms will form ionic bond, that is, bond formed by transfer of electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that a pair of hydrogen and chlorine will form a covalent bond.

What happens when gasoline is used to power a vehicle?
Romashka [77]
The answer should be A. Because the energy in gasoline is called chemical. When burned it is heat, Then to power a vehicle, it is mechanical energy. But I don't know whether the question wants to mean that the energy in the gasoline will not convert totally to the heat, so it will lose. But if think like this, when heat energy transform to mechanical, it will lose again. So I think the answer is A.
