The maximum number of electrons which can be held by subshell with azimuthal quantum number ' l in an atom is given by
Options
- A2(l+1)
- B2(2 l+1)
- C2 l
- D2(2 l+2)
Correct answer
B. 2(2 l+1)
Step-by-step solution
Number of orbitals in subshell with azimuthal quantum number l=-l to +l including orbitals =2 l+1 Each orbital can have maximum 2 electron, therefore maximum electron present =2(2 l+1)
