Question

An atom has 2k, 8l , 5m electrons. The number of occupied subshell in grouped state

Answer 1

Hi, please consider the answer below

In 2k we have 2 electrons every shell

In 8l we have 16 electrons 2nd shell and higher principal  

In 5m we have 10 electrons

This therefore gives a total of 2 + 16 + 10

= 28 electrons overall.

In my view, k l m... can be as well be referred to as s p d... orbitals.
