Which of the following is characterized by existing at a discrete energy level? a) spin number b) atomic number c) orbital d) subatomic particle

The correct option is: D) Subatomic Particle

Explanation:

Electrons are the negatively charged, stable sub-atomic particles that exist in discrete energy levels, called the electron shells, around the nucleus of an atom.

Each electronic shell consists of a fixed number of electrons and these electronic shells are denoted by the symbol K, L, M, N, and so on.

Therefore, electron is the sub-atomic particle that exists at a discrete energy level.

hope this !

explanation:

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
