Question

How many orbitals are in the 3s subshell?

Answer 1

How many orbital(s) does any s-subshell hold?

Answer 2

0

Answer 3

:O no! The s-subshell has 1 orbital, so it can hold 2 electrons. p-subshell has 3 orbitals, and so it can hold 6 electrons. d-subshell has 5 orbitals and it can hold 10 e-. And it goes on and on...

Answer 4

That answers your next question =P

Answer 5

I'm sorry, I was thinking about quantum number

Answer 6

s has an azimuthal quantum # of 0. The principle quantum number can be anything > 0 though.

Answer 7

in that case, how many orbitals are there in the third shell, n=3

Answer 8

# of orbitals in a shell = n^2
# of electrons in a shell = 2 * n^2

Answer 9

Seems like everyone is starting quantum mechanics ;D

Answer 10

so it would be 18

Answer 11

lol i know right, it's killing me but I'm understanding it better now

Answer 12

9 orbitals, 18 e-

Answer 13

Thank you so much

Answer 14
