Maximum number of electrons in an atom that can have the quantum numbers n=4, me=+1 is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 6
We know for a given n, the value of me=+l to −l and l=0 to (n−1).
For n=4
l=0 me=0
l=1 me=−1,0,+1;
l=2 me−2,−1,0,+1,+2 l=3 me=−3,−2,−1,0,+1,+2,+3
There are three orbitals having me=+1. Thus maximum number of electrons in them will be 3×2=6.
