The d sublevel always contains 5 orbitals. Therefore the d sublevel can accommodate 10 electrons just the same as 3d and 4d orbitals.

Each of the 5 separate d orbitals can only contain two electrons.

there are five 5d orbitals

each orbital can accomodate 2 electrons maximum

so ten electrons (maximum) can be accommodated in 5d orbitals

What is the maximum number of electrons possible in a set of 5f orbitals?

Any orbital can only contain a maximum of 2 electrons. The 5d energy level contains 5 orbitals - 5dxy 5dxz 5dyz 5d(x2-y2) and 5(dz2) each of which can contain a maximum of two electrons, so there are 10 total electrons in the set of 5 d orbitals.

Which of the subshells in the electron configuration of Hf behave as core orbitals?

The subshells of 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 4f act like core orbitals. This understanding of the configuration of the atom helps us to understand why electrons and atoms behave the way they do.


How do you arrange the electron in energy level in all atom?

Assuming the electron is in the lowest states and the atom is neutrally charged, it will fill an orbital before extending the next one. 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p H and He fill 1s as it holds two electrons. Li and Be fill 2s as it holds two electrons. B, C, N, O, F, and Ne will fill the 2p orbital as it holds 6 electrons (2p1, 2p2, and 2p3 orbitals). However, nitrogen will have one electron in each 2p1, 2p2, and 2p3 orbitals as an electron will not go two to an orbital until each orbital is filled. Neon completes the 2p orbital and is very stable (considered an inert gas--electrons are neither attracted nor want to leave the completed 2p orbital). Fluorine is the most electronegative element, as it wants to rip any electron it can to fill its 2p orbital. All noble gasses (right most on the periodic table) will complete a p-orbital. Periods 3-12 will fill a d-orbital. Lanthanoids and actinoids will fill the f-orbitals. So, for instance, Calcium (Ca) has an atomic number 20. You look up Ca on the periodic table. As it comes after He, it will have a 1p orbital filled. As it comes after Be, it will have a 2s orbital filled. As it comes after Ne, it will have a 2p orbital filled. And Ca will have a 3s orbital filled. Therefore, you note that Ca has electrons in the following orbitals: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s. Another example is Fluorine (F), which would be: 1s, 2s, 2p1(2), 2p2(2), 2p3(1) where the parenthetical numbers note the number of electrons in each orbital.

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 5d subshells?

In any shell excluding shell1, there is only 1 s orbital and 1 p orbital. Subshells and the Orbitals are same. Orbital g is known as subshell 5. g orbital is present shell 6. But till today no element is discovered with an electron in g orbital.

Why electrons are removed first from 5d than 4f orbital in lanthanides?

They are further away from the nucleus and easier to remove (requires less energy), i.e. first ionization is less.

How many electrons are there in the 3s orbital?

Yes, it exists. If you write the orbitals in order of increasing energy, then you get it. The order is:- 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p..................... Here, you get the 3s orbital at the 4th place.


What is the Maximum number of electrons into 4d orbital?

There are 5 total 4 d orbitals. (4dy, 4dx, 4dz, 4dz2, 4dx2-y2) Each of these can fit 2 electrons. This rule is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principal. 2X5 = 10. 10 total electrons. This is the same for all d orbitals. 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, etc.
