Question

the maximum degenerate orbitals in third shell of li 2 plus is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 orbitals

The 3rd shell has 3 subshells. The first subshell has 1 orbital that can hold 2 electrons. The second subshell has 3 orbitals that can hold 6 electrons total. The third subshell has 5 orbitals that can hold 10 electrons total

Explanation:

Answer 2

There are 9 degenerate orbitals present in the third shell of Li²⁺

• Lithium is the 3rd element in the periodic table and has an atomic number of 3.
• The Li²⁺ state means there is only 1 electron present in the atom and it acts like hydrogen.
• Degenerate orbitals means those types of orbitals which are at the same level in terms of energy, that is, do not have any difference in energy levels.
• The 3rd shell of Li contains three types of subshells mainly s subshell (1 orbital), p subshell ( 3 orbitals), and d subshell (5 orbitals). All these are degenerate orbitals.
• On combining them, we obtain 1+3+5 = 9 degenerate orbitals in the 3rd shell of Li²⁺

Thus, the maximum amount of degenerate orbitals found in the third shell of li 2 plus is ​9.
