What are the letter designations for the first four sub levels with the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in each sub level?

The letter designations for the first four sublevels and their maximum number of electrons are as follows: s sublevel: can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. p sublevel: can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. d sublevel: can hold a maximum of 10 electrons. f sublevel: can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.


How many electrons in 2d xy?

The 2d sub energy level does not exist. The first shell to contain a d sub-shell is the third shell: the 3d sub-shell contains a maximum of 10 electrons, with two electrons in each of five different d orbitals.


Why is 2d1 not possible?

A break down of 2d1:2 = the quantum energy level or electron shell denoted as 'n'd = the sub-shell of the energy level (known as a degenerate level)1 = the number of electrons occupying the sub-shell.Through extensive research by scientists, no known element has a d sub-shell in the second (n=2) energy level. In fact, the d sub-shell does not appear until the fourth period (fourth row).The first d sub-shell is known to be in the third energy level (therefore the first energy level with this sub-shell is 3d, but not 2d).Transition metals are the elements known to fill the d sub-shells. The first transition metal in the periodic table is scandium (Sc) with the electron configuration of [Ar]4s23d1.The reasons for the formation of sub-shell of d is beyond my knowledge and the scope of basic chemistry.


What is the maximum number for electrons an the fourth level?

The maximum number of electrons in the fourth energy level is 32. This level can hold up to 32 electrons distributed among its various sublevels (s, p, d, and f).


What is the maximum of the orbitals in the p sublevel?

in a "s" sublevel there are a max of 2 electrons located on 1 orbital. in a "p" sub level there are a max of 6 electrons located on 3 orbitals. in a "d" sub level there are a max of 10 electrons located on 5 orbitals. Extra: within a level (n=2 or n=3 etc) the number of orbitals (adding all the s, p, d etc) is n^2. so in a n=2 level, there are 4 orbitals (1 for 2s, 3 for 2p..1+3=4)


How many electrons can the d sub level hold?

10. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals that can each hold two electrons of opposite spin.

How are the orbitals different in sublevels of the same principal energy level?

In every atom there are principle energy levels, sub-levels and atomic orbitals. The principle energy levels are often those first taught when studying chemistry. They correspond to how close the electrons are to the nucleus. The first principle energy level is closest to the nucleus and can hold a maximum of two electrons. The second principle energy level is slightly further away from the nucleus and can hold a maximum of eight electrons. The third energy level is even further away and can hold a maximum of ten electrons. Each principle energy level is comprised of different sub-levels: s, p, d and f. The s sub-level can hold a maximum of two electrons; , p a maximum of 6; d, a maximum of 10 and f, a maximum of 14 (although the f sub-level is only present in the lanthanide and actanide series). Sub-levels all have different energies and electrons fill sub-levels in order of lowest energy to highest. The first principle energy level has one sub-level, the 1s sub-level. The second principle energy level has two sub-levels, 2s and 2p. The third principle energy level has three sub-levels, 3s 3p and 3d. (However, the 4s sub-level is filled before the 3d sub-level, which is a different matter which cannot be explained quite so simply.) Now, each sub-level is comprised of atomic orbitals which define the approximate boundaries of the electron orbit. Each orbital can hold up to two electrons, so a s sub-level has one orbital; a p sub-level has three orbitals; a d sub-level has five orbitals and a f sub-level has seven. This explanation is really quite brief as there is so much more information concerned with principle energy levels, sub-levels and atomic orbitals.


What are the maxium number of orbitals in p sublevel?

3, each of which can hold 1 or 2 electrons. Please note that many chemists would say that there were always 3 p orbitals in the p sublevels, they may, however not all be occupied by electrons.
