Question

which subshell can have a maximum of 2 electrons?
o s
o d
o f
o p
question 6
how many electrons would make the d shell complete?
o 10
o 2
o 6
o 1

Explanation:

1. For the first question, the s - subshell has 1 orbital and each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so the s - subshell can have a maximum of 2 electrons. The p - subshell has 3 orbitals and can hold 6 electrons, the d - subshell has 5 orbitals and can hold 10 electrons, and the f - subshell has 7 orbitals and can hold 14 electrons.
2. For the second question, the d - subshell has 5 orbitals and since each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, a complete d - subshell has 5×2 = 10 electrons.

Answer:

Question 5: A. s
Question 6: A. 10
