HEY FOLK...
Values of l for subshells are
s = 0
p = 1
d = 2
f = 3
now if we require more subshells than next will be 'g' as it is alphabetically after 'f' , so noticing the above order , value of l for g is 4
i.e., g = 4
now value of n for any subshell l is = l+1
n = 5
Now, let us count no. of orbitals in g subshell having l = 4
magentic quatum no, = -l to +l
total orbitals of g are, -4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3,+4
total = 9 orbitals,
every atomic orbital can accomodate 2 electrons at max so
total electrons that can be accomodate are = 9*2 = 18 electrons
HOPE IT HELPS...
