Question

What is the maximum number of electrons that any 'p' sublevel can hold? 2 electrons 6 electrons 8 electrons 10 electrons

Answer 1

6 electrons... 's' can hold 2..... 'd' can hold 10 and 'f' can hold 14

Answer 2

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

With the quantum model of the atom, initiated by Bohr, the orbital (space where is more probably to find the electron) was divided into quantum numbers.

The principal number (n), is the number of the shell, it goes from 1 to 7 and is represented by the letter K, L, M, N, O, P, Q. The maximum number of electrons in the shells are, K = 2, L = 8, M = 18, N = 32, O = 32, P = 18, Q =8.

The secondary number (l) is the subshells, and it goes from 0 to 4 and is represented, in order, for the letter, s, p, d, f. The maximum number of electrons permitted in each subshell is s = 2, p = 6, d = 10, f = 14.

The magnetic number (ml), is represented by orbitals, and it goes from -l to +l, passing by 0. The maximum number of electrons is 2 for each one.

The spin number (ms) refers to the rotation of the electron, and it can be +1/2 or -1/2.
