Question

1)an electron has principle quantum number 2. The number of sub shells and orbitals would be respectively ?
2)For azimuthal quantum number l=2 the maximum number of electrons will be?

Answer 1

For an eletron with nor principal quantum number =2
the number of subshell would be 2 ( s and p) and the number of orbitals would be 4( 1 from s subshell and 3 from p subshell)
2) The number of eletrons that is possible for i=2 is 10 eletrons. I=2 repersents the d subshell it can have upto 10 eletrons.
