What is the total number of electrons that can occupy the p sublevel?

2 electrons
6 electrons
8 electrons
10 electrons

1 answer

The p sublevel can hold a total of 6 electrons.

Each p sublevel has three orbitals (px, py, and pz), and each orbital can hold 2 electrons, giving a total of \(3 \times 2 = 6\) electrons.

So, the correct answer is 6 electrons.
