A subshell with n = 6, ℓ = 2 can accommodate a maximum of
12 electrons
36 electrons
10 electrons
72 electrons
The correct option is D
ℓ = 2 corresponds to d orbitals thus there are 5 orbitals. Each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons. So in all, there are 5 X 2 = 10 electrons.
Maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the subshell with azimuthal quantum number l = 4, is
