Which answer is NOT one of the four sublevels that electrons can be placed in?
S
P
B
F

B

Explanation:

The electrons are placed in 4 sublevels: s, p, d, and f. The sublevels contain orbitals and each orbital can carry maximum 2 electrons.

s is the lowest sublevel having only one orbital and can hold a maximum of 2 electrons; p has 3 orbitals and can carry a maximum of 6 electrons, d has 5 orbitals and can carry a maximum of 10 electrons; and f is the highest orbital having 7 orbitals and can hold maximum 14 electrons.

Hence, B is not one of the four sublevels that electrons can be placed in.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
