I can’t see the question :/
<u>Answer:</u> The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.
Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.
Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is
The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6
These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.
Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.
Explanation:
1. Electrons surround the nucleus in defined regions called orbits.
2. The shells further away from the nucleus are larger and can hold more electrons.
3. The shells closer to the nucleus are smaller and can hold less electrons.
4. The closest shell (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of two electrons.
5. Once the first shell is full, the second shell begins to fill. It can hold a maximum of eight electrons.
6. Once the second shell is full, the third shell begins to fill.
7. Once the third shell contains Eighteen electrons, the fourth shell begins to fill.
8. The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus is referred to as an atom's electronic configuration.
Explanation:
Bohr built on Nicholson's idea by adopting the requirement that the angular momentum can have only certain discrete values related to Planck's constant. However Bohr's atom has many orbits for the electrons.
