Question

question 1 0.2 pts a column in the periodic table is called a \group\ how many groups are in the \p block\ of the periodic table? question 2 0.2 pts how many electrons max can be in a p subshell?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall p - block groups

The p - block of the periodic table consists of groups 13 - 18. Counting these groups, we find there are 6 groups.

Step2: Recall p - subshell electron capacity

The p subshell has 3 orbitals. According to Pauli's exclusion principle, each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. So, \(3\times2 = 6\) electrons can be in a p subshell.

Answer:

Question 1: 6
Question 2: 6
