electronic configuration and normal structure
« on: September 09, 2011, 05:02:42 PM »
Hello, in the normal configuration of an atom in the first layer there are 2 electrons and in all the other 8 but if i make the electronic configuration of the same element I see that the 3 level can contain more than 8 electron, so what relation is there between these 2 rapresentations?

thanks!

I think you're forgetting d and f orbitals.

How to Catch a Lion in the Sahara Desert:

The Quantum Measurement Method: We assume that the sex of the lion is _ab initio_ indeterminate. The wave function for the lion is hence a superposition of the gender eigenstate for a lion and that for a lioness. We lay these eigenstates out flat on the ground and orthogonal to each other. Since the (male) lion has a distinctive mane, the measurement of sex can safely be made from a distance, using binoculars. The lion then collapses into one of the eigenstates, which is rolled up and placed inside the cage.

yes why the normal rapresentation doesn't care of d and f orbitals and in the third level contain ever max 8 electrons instead of 18 ?

thanks
