There can be a maximum of 14 electrons in any "f" orbital.

However, the 3f orbital does not exist.

f orbitals are only found in quantum energy level 4 and above.

What is the maximum number of electrons in 3f?

3f can not exist by the Aufbau principle, quantum mechanics and Hunds rules. In level one there is only 1s In level 2 there is 2s and 2p In level 3 there is 3s, 3p and 3d Only in level 4 and beyond is there an f shell. In level 4 there is 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f. The 4f can hold up to 14 electrons.

Chlorine is more likely to try an empty its outermost orbital by losing electrons or fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons?

Chlorine is MUCH more likely to fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons.


Which of the orbital designation are invalid 4s 3f 2d 3d?

The orbital designations 3f and 2d are invalid. The letter "f" is not used to designate orbitals, and the numbers in the designation should follow a specific order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, etc.


What is the orbital diagram for V5?

The orbital diagram for V5 consists of five electrons in the 3d orbital and no electrons in the 4s orbital.


WHAT IS THE orbital diagram for 24 CR?

The orbital diagram for chromium with atomic number 24 would show two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, six electrons in the 2p orbital, six electrons in the 3s orbital, two electrons in the 3p orbital, and four electrons in the 3d orbital. This configuration would follow the aufbau principle and Hund's rule.


What is the orbital filling diagram for silicon?

The orbital filling diagram for silicon shows two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and six electrons in the 2p orbital. This gives silicon a total of 14 electrons in its outer shell.

Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?

Electrons with l equals 3 are in the f orbital. The f orbital has a complex shape with 7 suborbitals, each of which can hold up to 2 electrons.


What is the orbital notation for an orbital containing two electrons?

It depends what type of orbital these two electrons occupy. But there would be one arrow going up and one arrow going down to show two electrons in the same orbital.


Why does 4s orbital start filling while 3p orbital is empty?

The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.


Which of the orbital namely 1p2s2p and 3f are not possible give reason of your answer?

The orbital 1p2s2p is not possible because the electron configuration notation generally does not include numbers in the orbital names. The notation should typically follow the format: principal energy level (n) followed by the subshell letter (s, p, d, f) and the number of electrons in that subshell. The orbital 3f is not possible in the electron configuration scheme for elements up to and including the actinide series. The "f" orbitals appear in the lanthanide and actinide series, but for elements in the main periodic table, the "f" orbitals are not included.
