What is a p block element?

Back

Elements found in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table, characterized by the filling of p orbitals.

Front

Which element is an example of a p block element?

Back

Argon (Ar) is a p block element.

Front

How many valence electrons does an element in group 15 have?

Back

5 valence electrons.

Front

What happens to an electron when energy is added?

Back

The electron can jump to a higher energy level.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

The height of a wave, indicating the maximum displacement from the rest position.

Front

How many electrons can the d sublevel hold?

Back

The d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the s sublevel?

Back

The s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

Front

What is the shape of the p orbital?

Back

The p orbital has a dumbbell shape.

Front

What is the principal quantum number?

Back

A number that indicates the energy level of an electron in an atom.

Front

What is the difference between a ground state and an excited state of an electron?

Back

Ground state is the lowest energy state, while excited state is when an electron has absorbed energy and moved to a higher energy level.
