An element has I1 electrons. Evaluate the number of electrons in the f-subshell of this element.
Transcribed Image Text:An element has I1 electrons. Evaluate the number of electrons in the f-subshell of this element.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, electrons = 11 

For an atom, Atomic number is equal to number of protons Which is equal to number of electrons. 

Step 2

Writing the electronic configuration : 

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 

Having 11 electrons so atomic number is 11 i.e element is Sodium

There are no electrons in f subshell. Electrons are filled in orbitals in order of their increasing energy .

So, there are zero electrons in f subshell of an element having 11 electrons.
