Question

Sub shells	Number of orbitals $(2l+1)$	Maximum number of electrons
$s(l=0)$	$1$	$2$
$p(l=1)$	$3$	$6$
$d(l=2)$	$5$	$10$
f(l = 3)$	$7$	$14$

Write which sub shell has maximum number of electrons?

Answer 1

The maximum number of electrons in subshells are:

$s=2$

$p=6$

$d=10$

$f=14$

Therefore, the order of maximum no. of electrons is :

$s>p>d>f$

Therefore, the f subshell has maximum number of electrons.
