Question

4. How many electrons can fit in an orbital for which n=3 and 1=1?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

18 electron,

number of election = 2n2

Answer 2

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

If the value of third shell is 3 or n=3 with sub-shell value l=1.

This means each orbital will contain two electrons. There exist three p orbitals. Each electron will combine with three orbitals; finally, you will find six electrons will fit into the orbit.
