Question

what is the maximum number of electrons in an atom that can have quantum numbers n=4 and m=+1......please explain........​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 electron can have n = 4 and l = +1

Explanation:

If n is 4 then it can have four subshells That is 4s , 4p, 4d and 4f.

Now the middle orbital in each subshells except 4s ( 4p 4d 4f) will have m=+1.

So there will be total Three orbital with m= +1.

Now these three orbital can accommodate 6 electrons (2 electrons each orbital).
