question 22\n1 pts\ngiven that the number of groups in a given block corresponds to the number of electrons in a given subshell, match the number of electrons that each of the following subshells can accommodate. use the periodic table to determine the number of groups in each block.\ns subshell\np subshell\nd subshell\nf subshell\nchoose \nchoose \n2\n4\n8\n7\n9\n14\n10\n5\n6
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall s - subshell properties
The s - subshell has 1 orbital. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. So, the s - subshell can accommodate 2 electrons.
Step2: Recall p - subshell properties
The p - subshell has 3 orbitals. Since each orbital can hold 2 electrons, the p - subshell can hold $3\times2 = 6$ electrons.
Step3: Recall d - subshell properties
The d - subshell has 5 orbitals. With 2 electrons per orbital, the d - subshell can hold $5\times2=10$ electrons.
Step4: Recall f - subshell properties
The f - subshell has 7 orbitals. As each orbital holds 2 electrons, the f - subshell can hold $7\times 2 = 14$ electrons.
Answer:
s subshell: 2 p subshell: 6 d subshell: 10 f subshell: 14
