Q. Maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in’p’ orbital :
Solution:
ach principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. A set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. Therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons – that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.
