1 How many "p" orbital/s in the principal energy level 2 |
|
Answer» Each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. A set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of SIX electrons. Therefore, the second level can CONTAIN a maximum of eight electrons - that is, TWO in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals |
