Question

13 how many electrons can the d orbital hold at maximum? a. 2 b. 8 c. 14 d. 10 14 how many different f orbitals are there? a. 5 b. 10 c. 7 d. 14 16 in the following example, what does the 3 tell you? 3p^5 a it tells you the total number of electrons in the atom b it tells you the energy level of that orbital c it tells you the number of electrons in that subshell d it tells you the period and group the atom is in extra: write the orbital notation for the ion: s2- label the orbitals and energy levels

Explanation:

Step1: Recall electron - holding capacity of d - orbital

Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. The d - subshell has 5 orbitals. So, the maximum number of electrons in the d - orbital is $2\times5 = 10$.

Step2: Recall number of f - orbitals

The f - subshell has 7 orbitals.

Step3: Interpret the number in electron - configuration notation

In the electron - configuration notation $3p^{5}$, the number '3' represents the principal quantum number, which indicates the energy level of the orbital.

Answer:

1. d. 10
2. c. 7
3. c. It tells you the energy level of that orbital
