Question

A neutral atom consists of 2k 8l 11m 2n electrons total number of electrons with l=2 will be

Answer 1

l indicates azimuthal Quantum number which denote the orbitals such as S,P,D,F. S-0,P-1,D-2,F-3.so,l=2 means "d" orbital which 2(2l+1) electrons by substituting l=2 in the given formula we get 10 electrons. so,10 electrons can be accompanied in "d"orbital
