Question

The total number of electrons that can be accommodated in all the orbitals having principal quantum number $2$ and azimuthal quantum number $1$ are:

• A. $2$
• B. $4$
• C. $6$
• D. $8$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6$

$n=2,l=1$.
It means $2p-$orbitals. Total number of electrons that can be accommodated in all the $2p$ orbitals $=6$.
