Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the maximum capacity of electrons located in the d-sub shell?
A
2 electrons
B
6 electrons
C
10 electrons
D
14 electrons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As d subshell has 5 orbitals and only two electrons can exist in the same orbital, therefore d subshell will have a maximum 10 electrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The third shell has three subshells, labeled s, p, and d. The d subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.

Detailed explanation-3: -This means that the s orbital can contain up to two electrons, the p orbital can contain up to six electrons, the d orbital can contain up to 10 electrons, and the f orbital can contain up to 14 electrons.

Detailed explanation-4: -The d subshell Each orbital can hold two electrons (with opposite spins), giving the d orbitals a total capacity of 10 electrons.

Detailed explanation-5: -The s subshell has just one orbital, so it can have maximum of 2 electrons. The p subshell has 3 orbitals, so it can have maximum of 6 electrons. The d subshell has 5 orbitals, so it can have maximum of 10 electrons.
