Question

IF n+l=4,then the maximum possible sub shells will be A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two possiblity when n+l=4. These two are 3p and 4s. For 3p, n = 3 and p = 1, so 3 + 1 = 4 and for 4s, n = 4 and l = 0, so 4 + 0 = 4. Therefore, maximum possible subshells for which n+l=4 will be 2.
