What is the full orbital diagram of He?
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2.
What is unique about the orbital of noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration.
What is Heliums electron configuration?
As it has two postively charged protons in it (along with two neutrons), a Helium nucleus has two electrons 'orbiting' around it. Knowing this, we need to find which orbits they are in. The lowest energy orbital in an atom is made up of a single 'S' orbital (the 's' describes its shape - spherical) with a principal quantum number of 1 (which indicates the size of the orbital, 1 being the smallest). This is therefore denoted 1s . This orbital can accept two electrons, so both of the helium electrons go into it. The way to express this as a electron configuration is 1s2 , the superscript '2' indicating the number of electrons in the orbital. Feel free to stop at that point. To be a bit more technical, when we write 1s2 the '1s' is actually a mathematical wavefunction, and the superscript '2' is there because there are two electrons whose wavefunction is 1s, and so we multiply those wavefunctions together - hence the configuration actually means 1s-squared.
How many electron orbitals does helium have?
How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
Does helium have the maximum number of valence electrons in its outer shell?
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
What is orbital notation for helium?
Electron configuration of helium: 1s2
What is the full orbital diagram of He?
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2.
What does the letter s tells you in helium?
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2. This means that there are two electrons in the 1s orbital in helium.s stands for the orbital in which the electrons are present
What is the electron configurative of helium?
There are 2 electrons in the 1s orbital so the configuration is 1s2.
What is the electron configuration for a neutral atom of beryllium?
The electron configuration of beryllium is written as [He] 2s2. This means that it has 2s2 electrons above the configuration of Helium.
What is unique about the orbital of noble gases?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration.
Valence electrons of helium?
Helium has two valence electrons in the 1s orbital.

What element only contains a 1s2 orbital?
Helium.

Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
How many extra valence electrons does helium need to become stable?
Helium has 2 valence electrons and has completely filled orbitals / shells and helium is stable.
