Question

how many electrons in 6d orbital ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 electrons in 6d orbitals

Answer 2

Explanation:

In order for an electron to reside in the d-subshell of any energy level, starting with the third one, it must have a distinct value for its angular momentum quantum number, l. More specifically, the only value of l that describes the d-subshell is l=2 .

In the case of the 6d-subshell, the principal quantum number , n , which gives you the energy level on which the electron can be found, is equal to 6 .

Now, any d-subshell will contain a total of 5 orbitals given by the values of the magnetic quantum number, ml .

For a d-subshell,

ml can take the following values

ml={−2;−1;0;1;2}

Now, the spin quantum number,

ms , can only take two possible values

ms=1−2→ describes an electron with spin-down

ms=1+2→describes an electron with spin-up

So, to sum this up, the electrons located in the 6d-subshell will have

n=6→ the sixth energy level

l=2→ the d-subshell

ml={−2;−1;0;1;2}→ the five d-orbitals found in the d-subshell

ms=±1,2→either spin-up or spin-dow
