Question

In palladium (atomic no.-46), number of electrons having L=2 will be-
A)20
B) 18
C) 16
D)22
Please explain.

Answer 1

Answer:20

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Pd(at no = 46): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s0

l=2 means the value of azimuthal quantum no is 2

If l=2 then then the electron is in d orbital

No of electrons in d orbital in Pd: 10+10=20

Answer 2
