The maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by the expression
Options
(a) 4l– 2
(b) 4l+ 2
(c) 2l+ 2
(d) 2n²
Correct Answer:
4l+2
Explanation:
No. of orbitals in a sub-shell =2l + 1, No. of electrons = 2(2l + 1) = 4l + 2
The maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by the expression
(a) 4l– 2
(b) 4l+ 2
(c) 2l+ 2
(d) 2n²
4l+2
No. of orbitals in a sub-shell =2l + 1, No. of electrons = 2(2l + 1) = 4l + 2
