Question

Which of the following is correct for number of electrons, number of orbitals and type of orbitals respectively in $N$-orbit?

• A. $4$, $4$ and $8$
• B. $4$, $8$ and $16$
• C. $32$, $16$ and $4$
• D. $4$, $16$ and $32$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $32$, $16$ and $4$

The following is correct for the number of electrons, number of orbitals and type of orbitals respectively in an orbit.

Orbit	number of electrons	number of orbitals	number of type of orbitals	type of orbitals
$K$	$2$	$1$	$1$	$s$
$L$	$8$	$4$	$2$	$s,p$
$M$	$18$	$9$	$3$	$s,p,d$
$N$	$32$	$16$	$4$	$s,p,d,f$
