What is the total number of electrons present in completely filled 3s, 3p, and 3d subshell having same value of magnetic quantum number?

Options

  1. A18
  2. B9
  3. C6
  4. D3

Correct answer

C. 6

Step-by-step solution

For the 3s subshell, l = 0 and m_l = 0 . It contains 1 orbital with 2 electrons. For the 3p subshell, l = 1 and m_l = -1, 0, +1 . It contains 3 orbitals, each with 2 electrons. The number of electrons with m_l = 0 is 2. For the 3d subshell, l = 2 and m_l = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 . It contains 5 orbitals, each with 2 electrons. The number of electrons with m_l = 0 is 2. The only magnetic quantum number common to all three subshells is m_l = 0 . Total number of electrons having the same magnetic quantum number ( m_l = 0 )
