Where would the electrons in the 3d sublevel be found? Possibly in any shell only in the n = 3 energy level in energy levels > 3

Answer:

In the n = 3 energy level

Step-by-step explanation:

There's is no further explanation for this.

All the electrons in an energy level are distribuited according to the period in the periodic table they are.

So, if we have an atom in period 1, like Hydrogen (H), that atom would only have 1 level energy (n = 1) and in that level, we only have the sub level 1s.

Electrons in the 3d sublevel, are found mostly in all the transition metals of period 3, and it can go from 1 to 10 electrons. To be with the 3d sub level it's neccesary that the energy level to be 3.

energy levels beyond that, like n = 4, we have electrons occupying the 3d sub level, so, primordly, the 3d is found only in energy level 3.

Hope this helps
