How many subshells are in the n = 3 shell?
How many orbitals are in the n = 3 shell?
What Is the maximum number of electrons in the n = 3 shell?
1. 3
(s,p,d)
2. 9
there are 3 subshells when n=3
which are s, p and d
the orbitals would be:
s=1
p=3
d=5
so the orbital number is 9
3. 18
Each sub-orbital can hold 2 electrons.
