Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the maximum number of orbitals in the p subshell? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what a subshell is. A subshell is a group of orbitals within an energy level of an atom.
  • Step 2: Know that there are different types of subshells: s, p, d, and f.
  • Step 3: Focus on the p subshell. The p subshell is one of these types.
  • Step 4: Learn that each type of subshell has a specific number of orbitals. The p subshell has 3 orbitals.
  • Step 5: Remember that each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, but the question is only asking about the number of orbitals.
