for the case of n=4 the available orbitals include 1s 3p and 5d, a total of 9 electron orbitals which can occupy 18 electrons. There are 18 elements in the 4th row which coincides with the 9 available orbitals.

How many subshells are there in the second energy level?

There are two subshells in the second energy level: 2s and 2p.


How do subshells work-ie basics of how many 's' subshells for example?

Subshells are divisions of electron shells by their orbital occupation and their principle energy level. The orbitals are divided into s, p, d, and f configurations and can exist in multiple subshells at different energy levels.


What is maximum number of electrons that may occupy the third electron energy level?

The third energy level contains s,p, and d subshells. These subshells hold 2,6, and 10 electrons respectively. Thus, in total the third energy level can hold 18 electrons.


Number of subshells in n equals 3?

If your are talking about s shell search then # of subshells equals n-1. So if n=3 the number of subshells is two. If your are talking about periodic chemistry the number of subshells for n=3 is six. If your are talking about the Weriner progression then ss= n!/(n-3)!


Which electron sub shells are located at the third energy level?

The third energy level can have the following electron subshells: 3s, 3p, and 3d.


What is the lowest numbered energy level where a d sublevel is found?

The lowest numbered energy level where a d sublevel is found is the third energy level. Energy levels are represented by numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and each level can contain sublevels corresponding to different types of orbitals (s, p, d, f).


What are the names of the subshells in the n equals 3 level?

They are letters. s, p, and d 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 A full n = 3 level.


How many energy levels are found in period 2?

Elements in the second period have two principal energy level. The first energy level has one s subshell. The second energy level has one s subshell and three p subshells.


Which level in energy has the less energy n equals 4 n equals 3 n equals 2 n equals 1?

n=1 is the the lowest level there is.


What is the maximum number of electron that may occupy the third electron energy level?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third energy level is 18. This level has 2 sublevels, s and p, which can hold a total of 18 electrons. The s sublevel can hold 2 electrons, and the p sublevel can hold 6 electrons, so the total is 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons.


What is the maximum number of electrons the first energy level will hold?

The number of electrons in the lowest electron shellis2 in the first or K shell (subshell 1s)---For other shells, the maximum is determined by the formula 2n2:2) 8 in the L shell (subshells 2s, 2p)3) 18 in the M shell (subshells 3s, 3p, 3d)4) 32 in the N shell (subshells 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f)5) 50 in the O shell (subshells 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, 5g*)6) 72 in the P shell (subshells 6s, 6p, 6d, 6f, 6g, and an unnamed subshell)7) 98 in the Q shell (subshells 7s, 7p, 7d, 7f, 7g, and two unnamed subshells)* the highest existing subshells are 5f, 6d, and 7s* the highest currently predicted subshells are 7p and 8s* no existing element has more than 32 electrons in any shellThe maximum per subshell is determined by the formula 2(2L+1) (s is 0):s subshells can have 2 electronsp subshells can have 6 electronsd subshells can have 10 electronsf subshells can have 14 electronsg subshells can have 18 electrons*There are no elements with electrons past the f subshell, so the shells with 22 and 26 electrons have no name. The largest element created (Roentgenium, element 111) has 2 electrons in the 7s shell.


What is the maximum and out of electrons energy level 4 can hold?

The maximum number of electrons that energy level 4 can hold is 32. This is determined by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the principal quantum number corresponding to the energy level. For level 4, (n = 4), so (2(4^2) = 32). This includes electrons in the 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f subshells.
