science chemistryHow many sublevels are in the following principal energy levels?
Level one has one sublevel – an s. Level 2 has 2 sublevels - s and p. Level 3 has 3 sublevels - s, p, and d. Level 4 has 4 sublevels - s, p, d, and f.
People also ask, how many sublevels are contained in each of these principal energy levels?
Level one has one sublevel – an s. Level 2 has 2 sublevels - s and p. Level 3 has 3 sublevels - s, p, and d. Level 4 has 4 sublevels - s, p, d, and f.
In respect to this, how many orbitals are in fifth principal energy level?
The fifth energy level contains: 5s (which holds 2 electrons), 5p (which holds 6), 5d (holds 10), and 5f (holds 14) for a total of 32 electrons. After that, the fifth, sixth, and seventh energy levels also have four sublevels each.
