What information would you need to determine the most likely resonance structure for the molecule? A. The formal charge of each atom
B. The polarity of each covalent bond
C. The Lewis structure of the molecule
D. The bond length of each covalent bond

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.
