Question

Draw the orbit diagram for helium atom.

Answer 1

Answer:

it is a noble gases and its electronic configuration is 1s2

Answer 2

Orbital diagram for helium (He) :

• Helium has an atomic number of 2.

• It has only two electrons in its orbit.

• According to Afbau's principle, the first energy level or orbital in an orbit is 1s.

• An s orbital has a capacity to accommodate maximum 2 electrons.

• Since helium has only 2 electrons, both the electrons will be in 1s orbital, and the orbital structure of helium will be 1s².

The orbital diagram for helium is represented in the image attached below.
