- Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, correct the statement. (a) An electron transition from n=3 to n=1 gives off energy. (b) Light emitted by an n=4 to n=2 transition will have a longer wavelength than that from an n=5 to n=2 transition. (c) A sublevel of l=3 has a capacity of ten electrons. (d) An atom of Group 13 has three unpaired electrons.arrow_forwardA given orbital has a magnetic quantum number of m = 1. This could not be a(n) (a) f orbital (b) d orbital (c) p orbital (d) s orbitalarrow_forwardGive electron configurations according to the Bohr model for each of the following elements. Try to not use Figure 3.11, but instead determine the configuration based on your knowledge of the number of electrons in each atom and the maximum number of electrons in each Bohr orbit. Indicate which of these elements you expect to be the most reactive and the least reactive. a. B b. Si c. Ca d. F e. Ararrow_forward
- Consider the following representation of a set of p orbitals for an atom: mg src=Images/HTML_99425-11-30QAP_image001.jpg alt="" align="top"/> ich of the following statements is(are) true? The areas represented by the p orbitals are positively charged clouds with negatively charged electrons embedded within these clouds. The nucleus is located at the center point of each axis. The electrons move along the elliptical paths as indicated by the p orbitals above. The atom could not be hydrogen because its electron is found in the 1s orbital.arrow_forwardGive the symbol of the element of lowest atomic number that has (a) an f subshell with 7 electrons. (b) twelve d electrons. (c) three 3p electrons. (d) a completed p subshell.arrow_forwardWhich elements in a given period (horizontal row) of the periodic table lose electrons most easily? Why?arrow_forward
