- List the orbitals in order of increasing orbital energy up to and including 3p orbitals.arrow_forwardGive the symbol of the element of lowest atomic number that has (a) an f subshell with 7 electrons. (b) twelve d electrons. (c) three 3p electrons. (d) a completed p subshell.arrow_forwardThe spectra of hydrogen and of calcium are shown in Figure 6.13. What causes the lines in these spectra? Why are the colors of the lines different? Suggest a reason for the observation that the spectrum of calcium is more complicated than the spectrum of hydrogen.arrow_forward
