The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons it has..
It is also the whole number shown on the periodic table
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence.
<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>
The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)
Electronic configuration of the atom describes the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).
Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.
Therefore,
s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.
p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons
d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons
f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.
Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:
<h2>s < p < d < f</h2>
