Answer:
Explanation:
If an atom has 13 electrons then it belongs to p-block of periodic table.
s level can accommodate 2 electrons.
p level can accommodate 6 electrons.
13 means 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1.
As you can see there totally 5 sub-shells.
Total number of shells are 3(1,2,3).
Answer:
Hi do we translate a this
Explanation:
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
