Question
Maximum number of electrons in a subshell with l = 3 and n = 4 is
Options
A.14
B.16
C.10
D.12
Solution
n represents the main energy level and l represents the subshell.
If n = 4 and l = 3, the subshell is 4 f .
In f subshell, there are 7 orbitals and each orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrones, so, maximum number of electrons in 4 f subshell = 7 × 2 = 14
If n = 4 and l = 3, the subshell is 4 f .
In f subshell, there are 7 orbitals and each orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrones, so, maximum number of electrons in 4 f subshell = 7 × 2 = 14
