Question

28 what is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an f - shell? * (0.5 points) 2 6 14 10 16

Explanation:

Step1: Recall orbital - electron relationship

Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

Step2: Determine number of f - orbitals

An f - subshell has 7 orbitals.

Step3: Calculate maximum electrons

Multiply number of orbitals by 2. So, $2\times7 = 14$.

Answer:

14 (C. 14)
