Question
⚠️LINKS WILL BE REPORTED⚠️ // Need answers as fast as possible!
– Electrons always fill orbitals in the same order. Each s orbital holds 2 electrons, each set of p orbitals holds 6 electrons, each set of d orbitals holds 10 electrons, and each set of f orbitals holds 14 electrons. The order in which orbitals are filled, from first to last, is:
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p
Beryllium has 4 electrons. What is the electron configuration of beryllium?
A.
2s^22p^2
B.
1s^22s^2
C.
2s^4
D.
4p^1

Answer:
Explanation:
Electron orbitals in an atom (e.g.,
) are denoted with:
There are two aspects to consider when finding the electron configuration of an atom:
The
orbital in each shell could hold up to
electrons (one
orbital per shell, with up to two electrons.)
The
orbitals in each shell could hold up to
electrons (three
orbitals per shell, with up to two electrons in each orbital.)
The
orbitals in each main shell could hold up to
electrons (five
orbitals per shell, with up to two electrons in each orbital.)
Refer to the order in which the orbitals are filled (Aufbau principle.)
All four electrons of Beryllium are thus assigned to the
and
orbitals. In a ground-state Beryllium atom, orbitals
and beyond would contain no electrons.
Notation:
Write the non-empty orbitals in the order by which they are filled:
