Question

What is the max no. of electrons that can be associated with the sub shell n=3 l=1 and m=-1?

Answer 1

Hey there!


☆The maximum no.of electrons which are associated with the quantum numbers n=3 , l= 1 and m=-1 are :

☞As l= 1 hence it implies that it's a p orbital...


☞So no. of orbitals in p = 2l+1
= 2*1 +1
= 2+1 =3

☞ Now each orbital can occupy 2 electrons..

3*2 = 6

☆ Hence the maximum no.of electrons are 6 .
