Electron shells and energy sublevels
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
What is the maximum number of electrons in shell N (n = 4)?
32
2
Write the distribution of phosphorus (Z = 15) electrons over shells.
2, 8, 5
3
Write the full electron formula of sodium (Z = 11).
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹
4
How many sublevels and how many electron places are in the second shell?
2 sublevels (2s, 2p); 2 + 6 = 8 places.
5
Why does the p sublevel consist of 3 orbitals?
The p clouds point along three axes x, y, z in space.
