What is maximum number of electrons accommodated in a subshell having azimuthal quantum number, =2 ?
Options
- A10
- B12
- C14
- D18
Correct answer
A. 10
Step-by-step solution
The Azimuthal quantum number ( l =2) corresponds to d -subshell and d-subshell has 5-orbitals, which can accommodate a maximum of 10 electrons.
