Question

anonymous · Answer

Level? Krypton is the planet superman was born on! Learn your comics kid :D

jfraser · Answer

the $electrons$ in an atom of krypton are spread out over several principle energy levels. look at a periodic table and tell me what $period$ krypton is found in

jfraser · Answer

do you know how many electrons can fit in each $type$ of orbital?

anonymous · Answer

The first shell can hold up to two the 2nd shell can hold up to 8 the 3rd shell can hold up to 18

jfraser · Answer

technically yes, but the $order$ that the shells and SUBshells get filled is more than that

anonymous · Answer

Oh then I have no idea

jfraser · Answer

each type of orbital can hold a different number of electrons

s-type can hold 2

p-type can hold 6

d-type can hold 10

and it goes on

jfraser · Answer

look at the image from earlier. When filling orbitals, we don't fill ALL the 3rd level before moving up to the 4th, so follow the red arrow when doing electron configurations
