Question

1. which sublevel contains the greatest number of orbitals? *

a. 2p
b. 3d
c. 1s
d. 4f

Explanation:

The s - sublevel has 1 orbital, the p - sublevel has 3 orbitals, the d - sublevel has 5 orbitals and the f - sublevel has 7 orbitals. Comparing 1 (for 1s), 3 (for 2p), 5 (for 3d) and 7 (for 4f), 4f has the greatest number of orbitals among the given options.

Answer:

D. 4f
