Question

(a) How many subshells are associated with n = 4? (b) How many electrons will
be present in the subshells having m value of -1/2 for n = 4 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) If n is the given number then the number of subshells can be found by counting all the digits from 0 to l=n−1 . Hence, for n=4, there are 4-subshells.

(b)The fourth shell has 4 subshells. The subshell which has one orbital with 2 electrons, the p subshell, which has three orbitals with 6 electrons, the d subshell, which has 5 orbitals with ten electrons, and the f subshell , which has seven orbitals with 14 electrons, for a total of 16 orbitals and 32 electrons.

Answer 2

Explanation:

a. Four sub

Four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are s, p, d and f.

b.

The fourth shell has 4 subshells. The subshell which has one orbital with 2 electrons, the p subshell, which has three orbitals with 6 electrons, the d subshell, which has 5 orbitals with ten electrons, and the f subshell , which has seven orbitals with 14 electrons, for a total of 16 orbitals and 32 electrons.
