Question

drag each tile to the correct box. arrange the sublevels in ascending order by the number of electrons they can contain p sublevel s sublevel d sublevel f sublevel

Explanation:

Step1: Determine electrons per sublevel

• \( s \) sublevel: 1 orbital, \( 2\times1 = 2 \) electrons.
• \( p \) sublevel: 3 orbitals, \( 2\times3 = 6 \) electrons.
• \( d \) sublevel: 5 orbitals, \( 2\times5 = 10 \) electrons.
• \( f \) sublevel: 7 orbitals, \( 2\times7 = 14 \) electrons.

Step2: Arrange in ascending order

Ascending order by electron capacity: \( s \) (2) < \( p \) (6) < \( d \) (10) < \( f \) (14).

Answer:

From top (smallest) to bottom (largest):
s sublevel
p sublevel
d sublevel
f sublevel
