The electron will reside in this energy level under normal circumstances.
Replies: Michele, As with all atoms, the electrons in a carbon atom reside in layers, or shells around the nucleus.
When an electron rises to a higher energy level, decrease in the reduction potential of the molecule in which the electron resides occurs.
As it is not always obvious where a lone electron resides in a radical cation a square bracket notation is often used.
As long as the electron, proton, and anti-neutrino reside in the neutron they do not have separate identities.
In molecules the free electrons can reside on one atom or on different atoms.
Lesser known diradicals are nitrenium ions and organic so-called non-Kekulé molecules in which the electrons reside on different carbon atoms.
Hydrogen's lone electron normally resides in the ground state, but various energetic events can move it to higher states.
There is no electron repulsion in a d complex, and the single electron resides in the t orbital ground state.
It is common to describe where electrons reside as electron bands in bulk materials and electron orbitals in molecules.
