What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?
Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
What is the maximum number of S orbitals possible?
7
Which of the orbitals contains quantum number combinations that are not possible?
3f
What is the possible number of electrons for a 3d orbital?
An individual 3d orbital can hold only 2 electrons There are five 3d orbitals each of which can hold a maximum of two, making a maximum in the 3d subshell of 10 electrons.
Which number represents the shape of an electron subshell?
The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.
What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?
Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
How do you determine the direction of the magnetic field?
The magnetic quantum number, ml, is determined by first knowing the subshell, or angular momentum quantum number (l). The s subshell (l=0) has one orbital: ml=0 The p subshell (l=1) has three orbitals: ml=-1, 0, +1 The d subshell (l=2) has five orbitals: ml=-2, -1, 0, +1, +2 A more generic formula is: ml = -l to +l
How many orbitals are found in the second shell?
If the question is an attempt to ask "How many orbitals are there with principal quantum number n = 2", then 4 orbitals which can hold a total of 8 electrons.
What is the maximum number of S orbitals possible?
7
What is the maximum number of unpaired electrons in the s subshell and the d subshell and the p subshell and f subshell?
d subshell = 2 p subshell = 6
What is unique about the orbitals around the nucleus of an atom?
The Speed Is determined by the number of electrons on that shell.
Which of the orbitals contains quantum number combinations that are not possible?
3f
What are the possible values of the magnetic quantum number ml?
The magnetic quantum number ml depends on the orbital angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number, l, which in turn depends on the principal quantum number, n. The orbital angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number, l, runs from 0 to (n-1) where n is the principal quantum number. l= 0 is an s orbital, l= 1 is a p subshell, l= 2 is a d subshell, l=3 is an f subshell. The magnetic quantum number, ml, runs from -l to +l (sorry this font is rubbish the letter l looks like a 1) so for an f orbital the values are -3. -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, so 7 f orbitals in total. ml "defines " the shape of the orbital and the number within the subshell.
What is the total number of subshell for sodium atom?
the total number of subshell for a sodium atom is 4.
For an atoms electrons how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n 4?
It depends which n since n is the row (period) number. 1st n = 1-s subshell, 1 orbital, and 2 electrons. 2nd n = 2-s subshell with 1 orbital and 2 electrons + 2-p subshell with 3 orbitals and 6 electrons.
What is the possible number of electrons for a 3d orbital?
An individual 3d orbital can hold only 2 electrons There are five 3d orbitals each of which can hold a maximum of two, making a maximum in the 3d subshell of 10 electrons.
How many orbitals are in the 4d subshell?
One orbital - 6s which can hold 2 electrons.
