Dear students, question is, what is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 3d orbitals, 6, 2, 8, 14 or 10? we know 3d is a subcell of the third cell.
00:19
3d is a subcell of third cell.
00:26
Now we know subcells s, p, d and f, these are the 4 subscells.
00:35
Now s has a maximum capacity of 2 electrons, it has 1 orbital, number of orbitals, number of orbitals, maximum electrons.
00:54
So s has 1 orbital, therefore it can contain a maximum of 2 electrons, p has 3 orbitals, a maximum of 6 electrons, d has 5 orbitals, it contains a maximum of 10 electrons, f has 7 orbitals, and therefore it contains a maximum of 14 electrons.
01:15
So, the d orbital starts from the third cell and f orbital starts from the fourth cell...
