(02.03 lc)
select the words that correctly fill in the blanks for this statement:
the p sublevel has ____ orbitals that are ____ - shaped.

a three, dumbbell
b three, spherical
c five, dumbbell
d five, spherical

pregunta 3 (3 puntos)
(02.03 lc)
which of the following is not a possible sublevel?

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

Explanation:

1. The f - sublevel has 7 orbitals and each orbital can hold 2 electrons. So, \(7\times2 = 14\) electrons can occupy the f - sublevel.
2. The p - sublevel has 3 orbitals and the shape of p - orbitals is dumb - bell shaped.
3. The principal quantum number \(n\) determines the possible sublevels. For a given \(n\), the angular - momentum quantum number \(l\) can have values from 0 to \(n - 1\). When \(n=2\), \(l = 0,1\) corresponding to s and p sublevels respectively. So, 2d is not a possible sublevel.

Answer:

1. d. 14 electrons
2. a. three, dumbbell
3. b. 2d
