The correct option is
C indicate the shells.
Explanation for correct option
(C) indicate the shells
Shells
- Electrons are arranged into sets called shells based on their energy.
- Shells are further subdivided into electron subsets known as subshells.
- The number of electrons an atom has with each principal quantum number is shown by the notation.
- Since there is only one -subshell in the shell, there can only be a maximum of electrons.
- The shell can have a maximum of electrons since it has two and two subshells.
- With three and d subshells in the shell, there can be a maximum of electrons.
- The shell may hold a maximum of electrons since it contains and subshells.
Explanation for incorrect options
(A) There are three lobes in the orbitals.
- Generally, -orbital has four lobes and two nodal planes.
(B) There are four sets of orbitals
- The orbital has three sets, .
(D) None of the above
- Statement (c) is correct
- Hence, option (D) is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is (C) indicates the shells.
