Question

the maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by the expression 4L-2, 4L+2, 2L+1 or 2n+1

Answer 1

Answer:

4L+2

Explanation:

You can verify the answer by putting the values of l,

For l = 0 (s subshell), 4L+2 = 2 (s subshell can accommodate maximum of 2 electrons)

For l = 1 (p subshell), 4l +2 = 6 (p subshell can accommodate maximum of 6 electrons)

You can similarly check for other subshells also.
