Expert Solution

Step 1

An atom consists of an atomic nucleus containing protons and neutrons while electrons are present around the nucleus. Protons are the positively charged sub-atomic particles, neutrons are uncharged sub-atomic particles while electrons are the negatively charged sub-atomic particles.

The common energy order of the orbitals for multiple electron species is as follows:

$1 s < 2 s < 2 p < 3 s < 3 p < 4 s < 3 d < 4 p < 5 s$
