Every electron shell, designated by "n", has a specific number of electron subshells. The shell number has values equivalent to natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4...), while the subshells are s, p, d and f.
The subshell that does not exist within the third shell (n = 3) is the f subshell. The energy of the f subshell is too high and cannot be accommodated in the third shell.
They provide a place for marine life to flourish, that would otherwise most-likely go extinct because of the constant decrease of natural reefs in our oceans.
Great question, let me know if you get the anwser!
The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. An example of this is the empirical formula for glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is C₃H₆O₃.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
