A
Each energy level from 1 upwards and each a orbital can hold up to 2 electrons
2
Q
What is P orbitals?
A
They start from the second energy level and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons so a set of 3 orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons
3
Q
What is D orbitals?
A
They start from the 3rd energy level and each level upwards has 5 orbitals which can hold up to 2 electrons so a of 5 orbitals can hold a total of 10 electrons
4
