How many types of orbitals are in the sixth shell?

There are four types of orbitals in the sixth shell: s, p, d, and f orbitals. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped, the d orbitals are cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbitals have more complex shapes. Each type of orbital can hold a specific number of electrons.


How many Electrons per atom orbit?

There are four kinds of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. Each s orbital hold 2 electrons (1 pair). Each p orbital holds 6 (3 pairs), d orbitals hold 10 (5 pairs) and f orbitals hold 14 (7 pairs). The first orbit only has an s orbital. So it holds 2 electrons. The second and third orbits each have an s and a p orbital. So they each hold 8 electrons. The fourth and fifth orbits each have an s, a p, and a d orbital. So they each hold 18 electrons. The sixth and seventh orbits each have an s, a p, a d, and an f orbital. They each hold 32 electrons. To place the electrons in their orbitals: Start at Hydrogen and follow through the periodic table, adding one electron per element until you reach the one you're wondering about. You can also start at the previous noble gas and go towards the element in question. Add electrons to an s orbital if you are in group I or II (or He). Add electrons to a p orbital if you in group IIIA - Noble gases. Remember that the first p orbital is 2p. Add electrons to a d orbital if you are in the transition metals. Remember that the first d orbital is 3d. Add electrons to an f orbital if you are in the rare earth metals (the ones that are usually an insert at the bottom of the page). Remember that the first f orbital is 4f. Also, place all the electrons in the orbital unpaired, then pair them up after all the spots are full. Then progress on to the next type of orbital.


Maximum number of electrons in 7 f orbitals?

What exactly did you intend to ask? Actually there can be only 2 electrons on one orbital of any level and any type. It's according to Pauli concept (no any two electrons can have the same all four quantum numbers, and these numbers are determining the level, sublevel, orbital position and the spin of electron(which can be whether 1/2 or -1/2, so that only two electrons can occupie the same orbital, no matter, which)).


Shape of sublevels?

's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird


In what type of orbitals are the actinide and lanthanide electron found?

Actinide and lanthanide electrons are typically found in f-orbitals. These orbitals are part of the inner electron shells and have a distinctive shape compared to the s and p orbitals.

What is the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is?

In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin. The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain. s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total d-orbitals: five, containing 10 f-orbitals: seven containing 14


How many orbitals are in a set of s-type?

How many electrons h sublevel have?

The hydrogen (H) sublevel, which corresponds to the 1s orbital, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Each sublevel can accommodate a specific number of electrons based on its type: s sublevels can hold 2, p sublevels can hold 6, d sublevels can hold 10, and f sublevels can hold 14 electrons. Therefore, for hydrogen, the single 1s sublevel has 2 electrons.


What is the difference between ion nd atom?

An ion is certain type of atom. Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons (often to have 8 valence electrons in the s and p orbitals).


How many type of orbitals are there?

There are five d orbitals, known as dz2, dxy, dxz, dyz , and dx2-y2. The special properties of transition metals are because of the d-orbitals.


What type of element is characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals?

Transition elements are characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals. These elements typically exhibit variable oxidation states and are known for their ability to form colorful compounds. They are located in the d-block of the periodic table.


What is the designation of fifth sub-shell?

The designation of the fifth sub-shell is 5s, 5p, 5d, and 5f, corresponding to the different types of orbitals that can exist in that energy level. Each type of orbital has a specific shape and can hold a certain number of electrons: s (2 electrons), p (6 electrons), d (10 electrons), and f (14 electrons). Thus, the fifth energy level can accommodate a maximum of 50 electrons when considering all of its sub-shells.
