Question

The designations for the first four electron energy sublevels with the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in each sublevel ares:2, p:6, d:10, and f:14s:2, p:8, d:10, and f:14s:1, p:2, d:3, and f:4s:2, p:8, d:18, and f:32

Answer 1

So,

The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

s:2, p:6, d:10, and f:14
