why does the d orbital hold 10 electrons?
431062
The d orbitals The angular momentum quantum number is 2, so each orbital has two angular nodes. There are 5 choices for the magnetic quantum number, which gives rise to 5 different d orbitals. Each orbital can hold two electrons (with opposite spins), giving the d orbitals a total capacity of 10 electrons.

The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.

The fourth energy level has 18 electrons. The fourth energy level of the periodic table includes the 4s 3d and 4p orbitals. The 4p orbital holds 6 electrons. There is a 4d orbital with 10 electrons which coincides with the 5th energy level of the periodic table.

An orbital can only hold up to two electrons at a time. This means it can occupy with none, one, and two electrons. In chemistry, this is referred to as an atomic orbital. They are areas of space around the nucleus of an atom.

Answer and Explanation: There are three orbitals in the 2p sublevel. These three orbitals can hold two electrons each for a total of six electrons.

The closest orbital to the nucleus, called the 1s orbital, can hold up to two electrons. This orbital is equivalent to the innermost electron shell of the Bohr model of the atom.

Explanation: In the ground state for each energy level: In the 2nd energy level, electrons are located only in the s and p sublevels, so there are no d orbitals.

Note you are only looking at the orbitals with the specified n value, not those at lower energies. (a) When n = 2, there are four orbitals (a single 2s orbital, and three orbitals labeled 2p). These four orbitals can contain eight electrons.

Each orbital can hold two electrons. One spin-up and one spin-down. This means that the 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, etc., can each hold two electrons because they each have only one orbital. The 2p, 3p, 4p, etc., can each hold six electrons because they each have three orbitals, that can hold two electrons each (3*2=6).

The K shell only holds two electrons. The L shell only holds eight electrons. The M shell only holds eight electrons. The M shell can actually hold up to 18 electrons as you move to higher atomic numbers.

This tells us that each subshell has double the electrons per orbital. The s subshell has 1 orbital that can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell has 3 orbitals that can hold up to 6 electrons, the d subshell has 5 orbitals that hold up to 10 electrons, and the f subshell has 7 orbitals with 14 electrons.

(Pauli exclusion principle). So if we look at the ground state electron configuration of cobalt, we see that the 3d sublevel is not full. There are two d orbitals having paired electrons with opposite spin, and three d orbitals having one unpaired electron, each with the same spin.

Now, dmg is a strong field ligand which causes the two unpaired electrons to get paired up. Thus there will be 4 pairs of electrons plus an empty d orbital in 3d. The dmg ligand is a bidentate ligand.

Orbitals are spaces that have a high probability of containing an electron. ... The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.

The electronic configuration of Cu+ is [Ar]3d10. It has ten d electrons. Out these, one half, i.e, 5 will have the spin quantum number (−21) and the remaining half will have the spin quantum number (+21). How satisfied are you with the 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.
