How many electrons can fit in orbit for which n=3 and l=1?

Answers

Answered by ayushch

It's Independent of Principle Quant. No. Only matters With Azimuthal Q. No. So L=1 Means it's P subshell having capacity to hold 6 electrons...

SouvickHalder: but here answer is 2

siril: maybe the question was something like this "how many electrons can fit in each orbital of 3p subshell".............each orbital holds a maximum of 2 electrons and p subshell has 3 orbitals

SouvickHalder: No,it is the neet- phase -2-2016 question

siril: could please type the question once again as it is

siril: could you*

SouvickHalder: How many electrons can fit in the orbital for which n=3 and l=1?

siril: yes the answer is 2, because each orbital regardless of the subshell has a maximum capacity to hold 2 electrons

ayushch: There's a difference between Orbital & orbit in the above comment we have orbital having max 2 electrons of different spins but in the original posted question its written orbit referring to the subshell , go on look it for your self !!!

Answered by siril

n=3 & l=1 indicates a 3p subshell.

Any p-subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons
