The p sublevels have 3 orbitals (6 total electrons) and the d sublevels have 5 orbitals (10 total electrons).

Using the above information, what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk tbh

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok. Since a d sublevel has 5 orbitals and a p sublevel has 3, the d sublevel has 2 more than p.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
