Question

question 14 1 pts each subshell has a particular number of orbitals associated with it. given that each orbital can accomadate two electrons, how many electrons can reside in each of the following subshells? subshell number of electrons s choose p choose d choose f choose

Explanation:

Step1: Recall number of orbitals in s - subshell

The s - subshell has 1 orbital. Since each orbital can hold 2 electrons, the number of electrons in s - subshell is $1\times2 = 2$.

Step2: Recall number of orbitals in p - subshell

The p - subshell has 3 orbitals. So the number of electrons in p - subshell is $3\times2=6$.

Step3: Recall number of orbitals in d - subshell

The d - subshell has 5 orbitals. Thus the number of electrons in d - subshell is $5\times2 = 10$.

Step4: Recall number of orbitals in f - subshell

The f - subshell has 7 orbitals. Hence the number of electrons in f - subshell is $7\times2=14$.

Answer:

s: 2
p: 6
d: 10
f: 14
