What is the maximum number of electrons an f-orbital will hold? a. 14 c. 2 b. 7 d. 5

The maximum of electron an orbital in the f sublevel can hold is 2

The are 7 orbitals in the f sublevel

The entire sublevel can hold up to 14 electrons

long story short, the answer is c. 2

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
