The electronic configuration of potassium is 2,8,8,1.why does the last electron of potassium go to the fourth shell instead of occupying the third shell,even though the third shell has a capacity to accommodate ten more electrons.
ankurivup9fgqm:
you read in which class ?
Ninth grade and you
11. the thing im telling is in 11th's chemistry chapter atomic structure
Okay. It's obvious then that I know the basics and you have studied in details..
It's just learning, isn't it
yup.
the beautiful learning
Your confidence on knowledge impressed me. So, following you....
Thanks and I would like to follow you to if you would say how to

no it's capacity is 8 electrons in it in my opinion
hope it helps you
hope it helps you
sorry but you are wrong.
Yes you are wrong. 2n^2 formula is there for accommodation rules.
but it only needs 8 electronsto complete its octets ok
@adkia you will find the proper answer soon I think. Just study carefully.

Electrons want to stay in less energy level. In this case the d orbital of 3rd shell carries more energy level than 4th Shell's s orbital.
That's why the last electron occupied the 4th shell instead of 3rd shell.

For further knowledge search on youtube about shells and orbitals of an atom.

you are also wrong
no mate. its in 11th's chemistry text book.
