Q: What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a p subshell?
Solution:
A p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
Steps: 8
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that electrons are arranged in shells around the nucleus of an atom.
Step 2: Each shell can have different types of subshells, which are labeled as s, p, d, and f.
Step 3: The p subshell is one of these types and can hold a specific number of electrons.
Step 4: Each p subshell has 3 orbitals (shapes where electrons can be found).
Step 5: Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Step 6: To find the total number of electrons in a p subshell, multiply the number of orbitals (3) by the number of electrons each can hold (2).
Step 7: Calculate: 3 orbitals x 2 electrons/orbital = 6 electrons.
Step 8: Therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a p subshell is 6.
