Question

the d sublevel contains ____ atomic orbitals and holds a maximum of ____ electrons. 3; 6 3; 3 5; 5 5; 10 clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Recall orbital number

The d - sublevel has 5 atomic orbitals.

Step2: Recall electron - holding capacity

Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. So 5 orbitals can hold 5×2 = 10 electrons.

Answer:

5; 10
