Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum number of energy sublevels found in any energy level at ground state is one

Explanation:

The energy state in general can be specified by four quantum numbers:

1) n = principal quantum number = 1,2,3...

2) l = angular momentum where l = 0...n-1

where: l = 0 corresponds the 's' sublevel

l = 1, corresponds to the 'p'

l = 2, corresponds to the 'd' sublevel

3) m = magnetic quantum number which extends from -l....+l

4) s = spin = +1/2 or -1/2

For the ground state n = 1 and l = 0 which corresponds to a single 's' sublevel.

Answer 2

the sublevels of the first four principal energy levels and the maximum number of electrons that the sublevels can contain are summarized in Table 5.1.
