Question

The number of electrons in sulphur atom having n + l = 3?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation:S16 = 1S2, 2S2 , 2P6 ,3S2,3P4.

So,

n+l =3

For 1S2 = 1+0=1

For 2S2,2+0=2

For 2P6 ,2+1=3

For 3S2 ,3+0=3

n+l =3 for 2p6 and 3s2

There are 6+2=8 electron

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

For 1s2,n+l=1+0=1. For 2s2,n+l=2+0=2. For 2p6,n+l=2+1=3

For 3s2,n+l=3+0=3 For 3p4,n+l=3+1=4

Thus, n+l=3 for 2p6and3s2 electrons, i.e., for 8 electrons
