What is the order in which electrons start filling the orbitals?
Take a look at this periodic table. You start in the left upper corner (1s) then you go to the right untill you can't go further, then you go 1 row down and start at the left again. So the order will be 1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p... etc
A. 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p B. 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d 4s 4p C. 1s 2s 2p 3s 4s 3p 3d 4p D. 1s 2s 2p 3s 4s 4p 3p 3d E. 1s 2s 2p 3s 4s 3p 4p 3d
Well I basically just gave the answer
d?
No
look at what i posted first
a
Did you look at the image i attached?
Start in the left upper corner at \(\Large 1s\), then you go to the right. there's another \(\Large 1s\) there. You can't go further so you start on the left 1 row below. There's \(\Large 2s\), now you go to the right and write down every different orbital, so after \(\Large 2s\), you have \(\Large 2p\), again you can't go further so 1 row below on the left, start at \(\Large 3s\), go to the right again, \(\Large 3p\), 1 below \(\Large 4s\), \(\Large 3d\), \(\Large 4p\). 1 row below \(\Large 5s\), \(\Large 4d\), \(\Large 5p\) Do you understand this?
oh now i get it :)
