The word equation “Element X reacts with chlorine gas to produce solid Xium chloride” would be represented by which of the following chemical equations?

X(s) >> Cl(g) + XCl(s)

X(s) >> Cl2(g) + XCl(g)

X(s) + Cl2 (g) >> XCl(s)

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
