The number of orbitals for the d sublevel is?

The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has5orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.


Why does the d block have only 10 elements?

The d block has only 10 elements because the d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons due to its 5 orbitals, each with a paired electron. This results in a maximum of 5 d orbitals accommodating a total of 10 electrons in the d block elements.


How many elements can the 3rd shell hold?

The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.


In the elements in the middle section of the periodic table which orbital are the electrons being added?

the outer shell electrons of the transition elements (middle section) go into the 'd' orbital e.g. Cobalt (Co) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7 The 4s orbitals get filled up before the 3d orbitals because it takes less energy to fill the 4s orbital


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 many electrons can be acomodated in a 5d orbital?

The d sublevel always contains 5 orbitals. Therefore the d sublevel can accommodate 10 electrons just the same as 3d and 4d orbitals. Each of the 5 separate d orbitals can only contain two electrons.


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 type of element is characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals?

Transition elements are characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals. These elements typically exhibit variable oxidation states and are known for their ability to form colorful compounds. They are located in the d-block of the periodic table.


Why are f-block elements called inner transition elements?

F-block elements are called inner transition elements because they have partially filled f orbitals, which are part of the inner electron shell. These elements typically have electrons filling the f orbitals after the d orbitals, hence the term "inner transition."


What are the similarities between groups 3 through 12?

These elements to transition metals. The electrons are filled in the d-orbitals. Most of the elements have unpaired electrons and hence are paramagnetic.


How many total electrons can the d orbitals in a sublevel hold?

The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.


What a maximum of eight electrons can occupy the first shell?

the first shell (the K shell) can only contain a maximum of two electrons, as it consists of just an s orbitalthe second shell (the L shell) can contain a maximum of eight electrons, as it consists of an s orbital and three p orbitalsthe third shell (the M shell) can contain a maximum of eighteen electrons, as it consists of an s orbital, three p orbitals, and five d orbitalsthe fourth shell (the N shell) can contain a maximum of thirty two electrons, as it consists of an s orbital, three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitalsthe fifth shell (the O shell) can contain a maximum of fifty electrons, as it consists of an s orbital, three p orbitals, five d orbitals, seven f orbitals, and nine g orbitalsetc.
