Question

The total number of electrons in a 4d subshell are

Answer 1

Answer:

Each orbital of a subshell can hold 2 electrons. As d subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons. so,There are 5 orbitals each consisting of 2 electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

The total numbers of electrons in a 4d subshell are 10.

Explanation:

• Each orbitals can hold 2 electrons in opposite directions.
• s, p, d and f have 1, 3, 5 and 7 orbitals respectively.
• s, p, d and f have 0, 1, 2 and 3 subshells respectively.
• s subshell holds most of 2 electrons and have 1 orbital.
• p subshell holds a maximum of 6 electrons and has 3 orbitals.
• d subshell holds a maximum of 10 electrons and has 5 orbitals.
• And f subshell holds a maximum of 14 electrons and has 7 orbitals.

So, in the 4d subshell a total of 10 electrons are present.
