The number of electron that can be present in sub-shells having m_s value of -1 2 , for n up to 3 .
Options
- A18
- B9
- C14
- D12
Correct answer
C. 14
Step-by-step solution
As there are 3 subshells, those will be s, p and d giving a total of =1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^2, 3 s^2, 3 p^6, 3 d¹⁰=28 electrons and 1 electrons for each orbital with m_s=-1 / 2 and +1 / 2 each. Thus, there will be 14 such electrons. Hence, the correct option is (3).
