Question

Using concept of quantum numbers, calculate the maximum number of Electrons present in the 'M 'shell.
Give thier distribution in shells and subshells and orbitals.

#Answer with Quality​

Answer 1

Answer :

• The value of principal quantum number (n) for the 'M shell' is 3

➞ Number of electrons = 2n²

➞ Number of electrons = 2(3)²

➞ Number of electrons = 18

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Subshells : 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰

Refer to the attachment for the distribution of electrons in the orbitals

Answer 2

Answer:

Each main shell contains a maximum of 2n2 electrons. For 'M' shell, n = 3. Therefore, the maximum numbers of electrons present in the 'M' shell = 2 × (3)2 = 18.
