Answer

a. 3s sublevel has a maximum of 2 electrons. b. 4p orbital has a maximum of 2 electrons. c. The maximum number of electrons in the n=3 energy level is 18. d. 4f sublevel has a maximum number of 14 electrons.

Work Step by Step

a. sublevel s can fit a maximum of 2 electrons, so the 3s sublevel has a maximum of 2 electrons. Table 4.9 has the maximum number of electrons on each sublevel and orbital.
