How many orbitals are there in n shell ?

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,


Sub-shell No. of orbitals Maximum no. of electrons
s 1 2
p 3 6
d 5 10
f 7 14

The number of orbitals are depends on the value of principle quantum number 'n'
For n shell the number of orbitals are = n2
If n = 1 then, 12 = 1
n = 2 22 = 4
Likewise, we calculated for different values of n
