Question

How many orbitals are present in the second energy level of a neon atom?

• A. $1$
• B. $3$
• C. $4$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4$

Number of orbitals in an energy level $=n^2$

For second energy level, number of orbitals$={\left(2\right)}^2$

$=4$

Thus there are $4$ orbitals in $2^{nd}$ energy level of Neon.
