Answer 1

Answer:

This exclusion limits the number of electrons in atomic shells and subshells. Each value of n corresponds to a shell, and each value of l corresponds to a subshell.

The maximum number of electrons that can be in a subshell is 2(2l + 1).

The maximum number of electrons that can be in a shell is 2n2.
