A chemist is studying the reaction between the gaseous chemical species X and Y2, represented by the equation above. Initial rates of reaction are measured at various concentrations of reactants. The results are recorded in the following table

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.
