An atom of uranium has closed 6p and 7s subshell. Which subshell has greater number of electrons?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which subshell has a greater number of electrons between the 6p and 7s subshells in a uranium atom, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electron Configuration Uranium (U) has an atomic number of 92, which means it has 92 electrons. The electron configuration of uranium can be written as: \[ \text{[Rn]} 5f^3 6d^{10} 7s^2 7p^6 \] This indicates that the 7s subshell is filled with 2 electrons. ### Step 2: Determine the Maximum Capacity of Each Subshell ...
