Question

An orbital is the space occupied by a pair of electrons. true or false??

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An orbital is is the space occupied by a pair of electrons. The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is 2.

The maximum number of electrons in in the orbitals are two.

For s-sublevel with one orbital we have two electrons

      p-sublevel with three orbitals we have six electrons

      d - sublevel with five orbitals we have ten electrons

     f - sublevel with seven orbitals we have fourteen electrons

Each orbital can take a maximum of two electrons.
