What is the total number of electrons present in completely filled 3s, 3p, and 3d subshell having same value of magnetic quantum number?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
For the 3s subshell, and . It contains 1 orbital with 2 electrons.
For the 3p subshell, and . It contains 3 orbitals, each with 2 electrons. The number of electrons with is 2.
For the 3d subshell, and . It contains 5 orbitals, each with 2 electrons. The number of electrons with is 2.
The only magnetic quantum number common to all three subshells is .
Total number of electrons having the same magnetic quantum number (m_l = 0.
