Hy!
Steemit Friends!
I am going to describe the topic sub shell and distribution of electrons in it.
SUBSHELLS:
As discussed earlier shell or orbit are circular path around nucleus and each shell consists of sub shells.Sub shells are represented by small alphabets s,p,d,f.
The number of sub shells in a shell is equal to shell number .
- The first shell have only one subshell i.e s
- The 2nd shell(L) consist of two sub shell s,p
- The 3rd shell (M) have 3 sub shell i.e s,p,d
- The 4th shell consist of 4 subshells i.e s,p,d,f
The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated are in s sub shell 2,p 6,d 10 and f 14.
s sub shell has lowest energy, it increases from p,d and f.Filling of electrons in sub shell is according to increasing energy ,first s then p and so on....
Thanks....
