Of course, other groups are also of interest. Carbon, silicon, and germanium, for example, have similar chemistries and are in Group 4 (Group IV). Carbon, in particular, is extraordinary in its ability to form many types of bonds and to be part of long chains, such as inorganic molecules. The large group of what are called transitional elements is characterized by the filling of the
subshells and crossing of energy levels. Heavier groups, such as the lanthanide series, are more complex—their shells do not fill in simple order. But the groups recognized by chemists such as Mendeleev have an explanation in the substructure of atoms.
Phet explorations: build an atom
Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change. Then play a game to test your ideas!
Section summary
The state of a system is completely described by a complete set of quantum numbers. This set is written as
.
The Pauli exclusion principle says that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers; that is, no two electrons can be in the same state.
This exclusion limits the number of electrons in atomic shells and subshells. Each value of
corresponds to a shell, and each value of
corresponds to a subshell.
The maximum number of electrons that can be in a subshell is
.
The maximum number of electrons that can be in a shell is
.
Conceptual questions
Identify the shell, subshell, and number of electrons for the following: (a)
. (b)
. (c)
. (d)
.
(a) If one subshell of an atom has 9 electrons in it, what is the minimum value of
? (b) What is the spectroscopic notation for this atom, if this subshell is part of the
shell?
Which of the following spectroscopic notations are allowed (that is, which violate none of the rules regarding values of quantum numbers)? (a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(a) Using the Pauli exclusion principle and the rules relating the allowed values of the quantum numbers
, prove that the maximum number of electrons in a subshell is
.
(b) In a similar manner, prove that the maximum number of electrons in a shell is 2
n2 .
(a) The number of different values of
is
for each
and one for
Also an overall factor of 2 since each
can have
equal to either
or
.
(b) for each value of
, you get
to see that the expression in the box is
imagine taking
from the last term and adding it to first term
Now take
from penultimate term and add to the second term
.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
