The order of increasing energy for
Concept Introduction:
Aufbau principle states that in a multielectron atom, orbital with lowest energy is occupied first by the electron that has to be filled. This filling of electrons results in a certain pattern known as electronic configuration.
According to the Aufbau principle, the order of increasing energy for orbital in a multielectron atom is as follows:

- • identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forwardSketch an orbital contour that is expected for an electron that has n = 3 and = 2.arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of orbitals that can be identified by each of the following sets of quantum numbers? When none is the correct answer, explain your reasoning. (a) n = 3, = 0, m = +1 (b) n = 5, = 1, (c) n = 7, = 5, (d) n = 4, = 2, m = 2arrow_forward

(a) 0 (b) 1(c) 2(d) 3arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forwardIn the second row of the periodic table, Be, N, and Ne all have positive (unfavorable) electron affinities, whereas the other second-row elements have negative (favorable) electron affinities. Rationalize why Be, N, and Ne have unfavorable electron affinities.arrow_forward
