Difference between shells, subshells and orbitals
Oct 15, 2014 · Chemists describe the shell and subshell in which an orbital belongs with a two-character code such as 2p or 4f. The first character indicates the shell (n = 2 or n = 4).
What are the maximum number of electrons in each shell?
Feb 20, 2014 · Each subshell contains a specified number of orbitals, and each orbital can hold two electrons. The types of subshells available to a shell and the number of orbitals in each …
Why is f and s orbital considered valence orbitals
Aug 2, 2024 · The valence subshell is the subshell involved in chemical bonding. For s- and p-block elements, their outermost subshells are their valence subshells. However, for d- and f …
