Question

How many electrons are present in obitals having
n=4, 1=0, m=0 & s=-1/?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Since n=4 and l=1 , here the shell is 4th shell and the subshell is p. So we are talking about 4p.

Now p subshell can have maximum of six electrons. Each orbital has 2 electrons having spin quantum number 1/2 and -1/2. So from the six electrons only 3 electrons can have spin quantum number equal to -1/2.

Hence the answer is 3.
