Question

The maximum number of orbitals possible for a shell containing g sub shell is

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Explanation: For g orbital, Azimuthal quantum number = 4 (s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3, g=4)

We know n= l+1

Therefore, n=5 (total shells)

Total number of electrons in a shell =2n²

Therefore, total number of orbitals in a shell= n² (as each orbital contains two electrons)

Therefore, n²=5²=25
