A 10.02 gram sample of chromium is heated in the presence of excess sulfur. A metal sulfide is formed with a mass of 16.19 Determine the empirical formula of the metal sulfide. Empirical formula=

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.
