Chapter 2, Problem 2.82QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum number of electrons present in the $s$ subshell for any principal energy levels energy levels has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A sublevel is refers to corresponding to energy levels Associated with sub atomic energy levels.  Both the principal energy level and type of sublevel when describing the location of an electron.

One possible sublevel: $\text{1s}$

Two possible sublevels: $\text{2s}\text{and 2p}$

Three possible sublevels: $\text{3s,}\text{3p,}\text{and 3d}\text{.}$

(b)
