Question

How many electrons can be accommodated in the 2d subshell?
Answered by GPT 3.5
The 2d subshell can accommodate a total of 10 electrons. Each energy level has a different number of subshells, and each subshell has a different number of orbitals, which in turn can hold different numbers of electrons. In this case, the 2d subshell is part of the second energy level (n=2) and consists of 5 orbitals, each of which can hold 2 electrons. Therefore, the total number of electrons that can be accommodated in the 2d subshell is 5 x 2 = 10.
