Question

The minimum number of electrons that can be accomodated in f orbital is 2,6,10 or 14

Answer 1

Explanation:

Maximum number of electrons held in the d orbitals is 10.

There are 5 sub-levels in a d orbital, each one can have a maximum 2 electrons.

Hence, 5 sub-levels can have a maximum of 10 electrons.

Thus, s, p, d and f orbitals can accommodate a maximum of 2, 6, 10 an 14 electrons.
