Question

Subshell Structures for Atoms In atoms, electron shells are split into subshells. First shell has only 1 subshell named "s". Second shell has 2 subshells named "s" and "p" Third shell has 3 subshells named "s", "p" and "d" Occupancy limits of subshell types: 2 for s, 6 for p, and 10 for d. The subshell occupancy for a given shell is indicated as (ns.np.nd) where ns is the number of electrons in the s subshell, np is the number of electrons in the p subshell, and nd is the number of electrons in the d subshell.

Explanation / Answer

part A : [2(2,6)]

Part B: [2,4]

Part C : [2,(2,6),(2,2)]
