Question

How many Subshell are associated with n is equal to 4?

Answer 1

Answer:

For a given value of ‘n’, ‘l’ can have values from zero to (n – 1). i.e., 0,1,2,3

The four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are s, p, d and f.

(b) For n=4

The number of orbitals will be = n2

The number of orbitals = 16.

Two electrons will go to each orbital with spins -1/2 and +1/2

∴ Number of electrons having spin -1/2 will be 16

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) For a given value of ‘n’, ‘l’ can have values from zero to (n – 1). i.e., 0,1,2,3

The four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are s, p, d and f.
