Chapter 3, Problem 3.66E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum number of electrons that each $p$ orbital can hold is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Each orbital of an atom can hold only $2$ electrons in it. It is the maximum number of electrons in an orbital regardless of its subshell that is $s,p,d$ or $f$. Subshells are the group of orbitals having particular direction and shape.
