The set of s and p orbitals in a given energy level can accommodate a maximum of _______ electrons and participate in a maximum of _______ covalent bonds.
4, 2
6, 3
8, 4
10, 5
s- orbitals can have 2 and p-orbitals can have a maximum of 6 electrons. So, that makes total of 8 electrons and a pair of electrons make a bond, which means the maximum of 4 covalent bonds.
