Question

How many electrons and orbitals are present in the d block.

Answer 1

Explanation:

All four orbitals can hold different number of electrons. The s-orbital can hold 2 electrons, and the other three orbitals can hold up to 6, 10, and 14 electrons, respectively.

Answer 2

Answer:

Orbitals present in d block = 5

dxy

dyz

dxz

dx^2-y^2

dz2

electrons = 2 * no. of orbitals

= 2 * 5 = 10 electrons
