The number of orbitals in fourth shell will be?

Thus the total number of atomic orbitals in the fourth energy level of an atom is 16.


What is the maximum number of spdf in chemistry?

The number of orbitals in electron shells are: One s orbital three p orbitals 5 d orbitals 7 f orbitals every shell has an s orbital, only shells 2 and above have p orbitals, only shells 3 and above have d orbitals only shells 4 and above have f orbitals. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Level by level the orbitals 1s (one) 2s, 2p(three) 3s, 3p, 3d (five) 4s, 4p, 4d 4f(seven) In a shell where they are possible, all three p orbitals have the same energy, all 5 d orbitals have the same energy and all seven f orbitals have the same energy. I do not like the idea of saying there is a maximum-- an orbital is a solution to the energy levels in a hydrogen atom. You simply cannot have less than 3 p orbitals for instance.


Why are there no sp4 or sp5 hybrid orbitals in chemistry?

In chemistry, there are no sp4 or sp5 hybrid orbitals because the maximum number of hybrid orbitals that can be formed by combining s and p orbitals is four (sp3 hybridization). This is due to the limitations of the atomic orbitals and the way they combine to form hybrid orbitals.


Which of the following types of orbitals can hold a maximum of 10 electrons when filled S?

The d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons when filled. The s can hold 2 and the p can hold 6.


How many electrons are found in each sublevel?

Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2p sublevel?

The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.

Which two orbitals could the valence electrons be in?

Valence electrons can be found in the s and p orbitals in an atom. The s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the p orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. This arrangement allows for a maximum of 8 valence electrons in an atom.


What are the different sublevels and maximum number of electrons?

s contains one orbital with a maximum of 2 electrons p contains three orbitals with a maximum of 6 electrons d contains five orbitals with a maximum of 10 electrons f contains seven orbital with a maximum of 14 electrons


How many elements does the s orbital have?

Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.


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


Which of the following types of orbitals can hold a maximum of 10 electrons when filled S?

The d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons when filled. The s can hold 2 and the p can hold 6.


Each elecrton orbital can contain a maximum number of how many electrons?

Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)

Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.


What is the maximum number of d electrons?

The maximum number of electrons in the d orbital is 10. The others include: s - 2 p - 6 d - 10 f - 14
