Question

question 1 (1 point)
(02.03 lc)
what is the total number of electrons that can occupy the p sublevel?
a 2 electrons
b 6 electrons
c 8 electrons
d 10 electrons
question 2 (1 point)
(02.03 lc)
what is the total number of electrons that can occupy the d sublevel?
a 2 electrons
b 6 electrons
c 10 electrons
d 14 electrons
question 3 (1 point)
(02 03 lc)
what is the total number of electrons that can occupy the f sublevel?
a 2 electrons
b 6 electrons
c 10 electrons
d 14 electrons

Explanation:

In atomic orbitals, the p - sublevel has 3 orbitals and each orbital can hold 2 electrons, so 3×2 = 6 electrons. The d - sublevel has 5 orbitals and each can hold 2 electrons, so 5×2=10 electrons. The f - sublevel has 7 orbitals and each can hold 2 electrons, so 7×2 = 14 electrons.

Answer:

Question 1: b. 6 electrons
Question 2: c. 10 electrons
Question 3: d. 14 electrons
