What is the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a subshell with azimuthal quantum number ?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B —
Solution
- The number of orbitals in a subshell is given by $2l + 1$.
- For , the number of orbitals is $2(2) + 1 = 5$.
- Each orbital can hold a maximum of electrons.
- Total electrons = .
- Hence the answer is (B).
