According to Bohr's model of the atom, the higher the orbital in which the electrons are found, the higher their energy or excitation state. Therefore, the electrons with the least amount of energy are those at the lowest orbitals, which are closer to the nucleus.
These orbitals are characterized by 4 quantum numbers, namely the principal quantum number (n), orbital angular momentum quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (ml), and the electron spin quantum number (ms). The principal quantum number reflects the distance of the electrons from the nucleus with n=1 as the orbital closest to the nucleus. Thus, according to Bohr's model, electrons in the orbital with n=1 have the lowest energy.
<span>The representative particle for silicon is atom of silicon.
</span>Representative particles can be atoms, molecules, formula units or ions. Representative particles depend on the nature of the substance. Silicon is chemical element made of atoms.
For sodium chloride (NaCl) for example, representative particles are ions.
Answer:
When a atom is unstable (It wants to gain or lose a valence electron)
Answer:
Again please specify your question, you still haven't indicated what you want to be solved.
by formula units I assume you mean atoms?
I'll edit my answer accordingly if you could specify down in the comments.
