Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total number of orbitals in the n=2 shell?
  • Step 1: Understand that 'n' represents the principal quantum number, which indicates the energy level of an electron shell.
  • Step 2: For n=2, we need to find the types of orbitals available in this shell.
  • Step 3: The types of orbitals are s, p, d, and f. For n=2, we only have s and p orbitals.
  • Step 4: The s orbital can hold 1 orbital (1s).
  • Step 5: The p orbitals can hold 3 orbitals (2p).
  • Step 6: Add the number of orbitals: 1 (from 1s) + 3 (from 2p) = 4 orbitals total.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the total number of orbitals in the n=2 shell is 4.
