Question

when l=4 what is the maximum number of orbitals of this type possible in a given electron shell (ie. for a particular n value)

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Explanation:

l = 0 => s Subshell

l = 1 => P Subshell

l = 2 = >d Subshell

l = 3 => fSubshell

l = 4 => g Subshell

no of orbital in a Subshell is 2 l+1

ie 2 x 4 + 1 = 9
