It may help to refer to the periodic table. n-1 n 2 n 3 n 4 a) He b) Li c) P d) Ca What is the neutral atom that has its first two energy levels filled, has 5 electrons in its third energy level, and has no other electrons? Enter the name of the element, not the abbreviation.

Explanation / Answer

a) He has 2 electrons.

He(2) = 1s2

n=1 n=2 n= 3 n= 4

He(2) : 2 0 0 0

-----------------------------

b) Li(3) = 1s2   2s1

  n=1 n=2 n= 3 n= 4

Li(3) : 2 1 0 0

-----------------------------------------

c) P(15) = 1s2   2s2   2p6   3s2   3p3

  n=1 n=2 n= 3 n= 4

P(15) : 2 8 5 0

--------------------------------------

d) Ca(20) = 1s2  2s2   2p6  3s2   3p6  4s2

n=1 n=2 n= 3 n= 4

Ca(20): 2 8 8 2

------------------------------------------------------

The element is Phosphorous ( from c).It has two energy level filled and third level 5 and fourth level 0.
