third orbit can contain 18 electrons..
9 orbitals of d,p and s
d has 5 orbitals
p has 3 orbitals
s has 1 orbital
So total number of orbitals is 9
Each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons
So no of electrons is 9*2=18

what is d,p and s
subshells
what is subshells
they are like sub orbits.. They have orbitals and revolve around the nucleus
or u can use the method posted by Dansi902 .. direct formula 2n²
what is overlapping
while bonding, a few of the orbitals of different atoms combine or overlap.. this is overlaping
ya...3rd shell contains 18 electrons
yup..

in third orbit 2 * 3^2 = 18 electrons
