Given:
Atomic number of an atom = 14
Partial electron configuration = 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²X
To determine:
The identity of X
Explanation:
Based on the Aufbau rule, the order in which the orbitals fill up based on energetic considerations is:
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p ....
maximum # electrons in s orbital = 2, p = 6, d = 10 and so on
Since 3p would follow the 3s orbital, in this case we will have the full configuration as:
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p²
Ans c) X = 3p²
Answer:
Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. The type of chemical bond maximizes the stability of the atoms that form it.
Answer:
orbital
Explanation:
electrons are found in an orbital
From the information provided in the question, we can see that; the electron moved up to an energy level and has an energy of 21.72 x 10-19 J.
Bohr's model of the atom tells us that electrons are found in certain specific energy levels. Energy is absorbed when an electron moves from a lower to a higher energy level and energy is released when an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level.
Given that;
ΔE = E2 - E1
E2 = final energy level
E1 = initial energy level
E2 = ?
E1 = 16.32 x 10-19 J
ΔE = 5.4 x 10-19
E2 = ΔE + E1
E2 = 5.4 x 10-19 + 16.32 x 10-19 J
E2 = 21.72 x 10-19 J
