  • Krypton Electronic Configuration: Understanding Filled Sublevels in the Third Energy Level
    Here's how to determine the filled sublevels of krypton (Kr) in the third energy level:

    1. Electronic Configuration:

    * Krypton's atomic number is 36, meaning it has 36 electrons.

    * Its electronic configuration is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶

    2. Identifying the Third Energy Level:

    * The third energy level is denoted by the principal quantum number (n) = 3.

    * This means we're looking at the electrons in the 3s, 3p, and 3d sublevels.

    3. Filled Sublevels:

    * 3s²: The 3s sublevel is filled with 2 electrons.

    * 3p⁶: The 3p sublevel is filled with 6 electrons.

    * 3d¹⁰: The 3d sublevel is filled with 10 electrons.

    Therefore, the sublevels of the third energy level that are filled in krypton are 3s, 3p, and 3d.
