Q: Which of the following orbitals can hold a maximum of 10 electrons?
Solution:
The d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons (5 orbitals, each can hold 2 electrons).
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what an orbital is. An orbital is a region in an atom where electrons are likely to be found.
Step 2: Know that there are different types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f.
Step 3: Learn how many electrons each type of orbital can hold: s can hold 2, p can hold 6, d can hold 10, and f can hold 14.
Step 4: Focus on the d orbital. It has 5 sub-orbitals.
Step 5: Each sub-orbital can hold 2 electrons. So, 5 sub-orbitals x 2 electrons = 10 electrons.
Step 6: Conclude that the d orbital is the one that can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
