The octet rule states that, in chemical compounds, atoms tend to have a. the electron configuration of a noble gas b. more protons than electrons c. eight electrons in their principal energy level d. more electrons than protons

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.

Afraidsugar lol it’s the third one
