Answer:
The maximum number of electrons in a p sub-level is 6.
Explanation:
The Electronic Configuration of the elements is the arrangement of all electrons of an element in energy levels and sub-levels (orbitals).
There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed in order according to their energy level. Electrons with less energy will be spinning at level 1.
Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels into which each level is divided can be up to 4 and these are called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons.
In level 1 there is only one sub-level, which will be the s. In level 2 there are 2 sub-levels, the s and the p. At level 3 there are 3 sub-levels s, p and d. And at level 4 there are 4 sub-levels, the s, the p, the d and the f.
So, <u><em>the maximum number of electrons in a p sub-level is 6.</em></u>
