Periodic Table
| A | B |
|---|---|
| inner transition metal | an element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel contain electrons |
| representative element | an element whose highest occupied s or p sublevels are partially filled |
| ionization energy | the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom in the gaseous state |
What are the highest occupied s and p sublevels?
Chemistry – Chap 6 Vocabulary
| A | B |
|---|---|
| noble gases | An element in Group 8A of the periodic table; the s and p sublevels of the highest occupied energy level are filled |
| nonmetals | An element that tends to be a poor conductor of heat and electric current; nonmetals generally have properties opposite to those of metals |
Are their’s and p sublevels completely or partially filled?
B. The highest occupied s and p sublevels are partially filled. Orbitals for noble gases are completely filled.
What is an element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel contain electrons?
transition metal
Transition Elements In atoms of a transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel contain electrons. In atoms of an inner transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel generally contain electrons.
Which element has all occupied sublevels are completely filled?
The elements of Group 18 (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are called the noble gases. They are an especially important group of the periodic table because they are almost completely unreactive, due to their completely filled outermost s and p sublevels.
What is the highest occupied sublevel in that atom how many electrons does it contain?
The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.
What is the highest occupied energy level of iron?
The total number of valence electrons for iron is 8: 2 electrons in the highest occupied energy level (n=4) plus 6 electrons in the (n-1) d orbital, that is, 3d.
What are s and p-block elements called?
representative elements
The ‘s’ and ‘p’ blocks elements called representative elements.
What are the s and p sublevels called?
The s and p sublevels for a given principal energy level are filled during the correspondingly numbered period. The s-block elements and the p-block elements are together called the representative or main-group elements.
What is the highest occupied energy level in the above electron configuration?
Valence electrons
Valence electrons are the electrons in the highest occupied principal energy level of an atom. In the second period elements listed above, the two electrons in the 1 s sublevel are called inner-shell electrons and are not involved directly in the element’s reactivity or in the formation of compounds.
