The maximum number of electrons present in an orbital with n = 4 , l = 3 is
Options
- A06
- B14
- C10
- D2
Correct answer
D. 2
Step-by-step solution
There are four types of orbitals which present in atoms namely s ,   p ,   d   and   f . The orbitals are having their quantum number which represent the maximum number of electrons and their orientation, spin of the electrons. The given values n = 4 ,   l = 3 represents the principal and azimuthal quantum number values of 4 f - subshell which has seven orbitals. In every orbital, maximum number of electrons can be fitted is 2 , one with + 1 2 clockwise and another with - 1 2 anti-clockwise
