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: Recall electron capacity of sublevels

The s sublevel has 1 orbital, and each orbital can hold 2 electrons, so total electrons for s: $2$ (since $1\times2 = 2$).
The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so total electrons: $3\times2 = 6$.
The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so total electrons: $5\times2 = 10$.
The f sublevel has 7 orbitals, so total electrons: $7\times2 = 14$.

Step2: Arrange in ascending order

Compare the number of electrons: $2$ (s) $< 6$ (p) $< 10$ (d) $< 14$ (f).

Answer:

s sublevel < p sublevel < d sublevel < f sublevel
