Principal level

An electron for which n = 1 is said to be in the first principal level. If n = 2, we are dealing with the second principal level, and so on. 

If n = 1, there is only one possible value of —namely 0. This means that, in the first principal level, there is only one sublevel, for which = 0. If n = 2, two values of are possible, 0 and 1. In other words, there are two sublevels ( = 0 and = 1) within the second principal energy level. In the same way,... 

In general, in the nth principal level, there are n different sublevels.

For atoms containing more than one electron, the energy is dependent on as well as n. Within a given principal level (same value of n), sublevels increase in energy in the order... 

Strategy Use the selection rules for the four quantum numbers to find the sets that could not occur. For the valid sets, identify the principal level and sublevel... 

Strategy Since two electrons fill an orbital, multiply the number of orbitals in the sub-level by 2 to find its capacity. To find the total capacity of the principal level, add those of the individual sublevels. 

Given the rules referred to in Section 6.3, it is possible to assign quantum numbers to each electron in an atom. Beyond that, electrons can be assigned to specific principal levels, sub-levels, and orbitals. There are several ways to do this. Perhaps the simplest way to describe the arrangement of electrons in an atom is to give its electron configuration, which shows the number of electrons, indicated by a superscript, in each sublevel For example, a species with the electron configuration...

After argon, an overlap of principal energy levels occurs. The next electron enters the lowest sublevel of the fourth principal level (4s) instead of the highest sublevel of the third principal level (3d). Potassium (Z = 19) has one electron in the 4s sublevel calcium (Z = 20) fills it with two electrons ... 

In what main group(s) of the periodic table do element(s) have the following number of filled p orbitals in the outermost principal level ... 

This idea is readily extended to simple molecules of compounds formed by nonmetal atoms. An example is the HF molecule. You will recall that a fluorine atom has the electron configuration ls22s22p5. ft has seven electrons in its outermost principal energy level (n = 2). These are referred to as valence electrons, in contrast to the core electrons filling the principal level, n = 1. If the valence electrons are shown as dots around the symbol of the element, the fluorine atom can be represented as...

The main elements of a typical large scale DCCS are shown in Fig. 7.106. There are five principal levels of hierarchy in most large scale distributed computer control systems. 

The way in which the exclusion principle determines the order of hydrogenlike energy-level occupation in many-electron atoms, is by dictating a unique set of quantum numbers, n, /, mi and spin ms, for each electron in the atom. Application of this rule shows that the sub-levels with l = 0, 1, 2 can accommodate no more than 2, 6, 10 electrons respectively. In particular, no more than two electrons with ms = , can share the same value of mi. Each principal level accommodates 2n2 electrons.

The lung contains more than 40 different cell types, of which more than six line the airways (Figure 10.2). The diversity of pulmonary epithelia can be illustrated by examining its structure at three principal levels...

Orbitals related to energy sublevels within one principal energy level can overlap orbitals related to energy sublevels within another principal level. For example, the orbital related to the atom s 4s sublevel has a lower energy than the five orbitals related to the 3d sublevel. 

Each shell or principal level of quantum number n contains n subshells. For example, if n = 2, then there are two subshells (two values of (.) of angular momentum quantum numbers 0 and 1.

The total electron capacity of a principal level is 2(n). For example ... 

The elements copper, silver and gold, the so-called coinage metals, are sometimes treated with the alkalis. The only justification for this procedure is that the atom of each of these elements has a single s electron outside a closed shell. In the coinage metals, however, the closed shell is a d shell of the penultimate principal level. Although these elements do have +1 oxidation states, their over-all chemical resemblance to the alkalis is very slight. They are best considered as close relatives of the transition metals, which they resemble in much of their chemistry, such as formation of complexes, variable oxidation state, etc. 

There are outstanding differences in the behavior of the protein in the various layers of the cow s nose epidermis. In the lower parts of the mucosum most of the protein is readily dispersed in 6 M urea, while in the outer parts much of the cell structure does not disperse in the stratum corneum the main effect of urea is to cause separation of the cells as if an intercellular cement was being dissolved. A measure of the different conditions of the proteins at the principal levels is given by the various types of thermal contraction which are obtained.

The n value is always used to label the orbitals of a given principal level and is followed by a letter that indicates the type (shape) of the orbital. For example, the designation 3p means an orbital in level 3 that has two lobes (a p orbital always has two lobes). 

Atomic energy levels are broken down into principal levels (n) which contain various numbers of sublevels.
