MCQ
Maximum number of electrons in a subshell with l = 3 and n = 4 is ________.
  • 14
  • B
    32
  • C
    16
  • D
    12

Answer

Correct option: A.
14
(a) 14
Explanation: Here l = 3 means the subshell is f .
$n =4$ means it is present in the 4 th orbit. Finally, it is a $4 f$ subshell.
The number of orbital in f sub shell $=2 l +1=2 \times 3+1=7$
Each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons $=7 \times 2=14$ electrons.
Therefore, the maximum number of electrons in a subshell with $l=3$ and $n=4(4 f)$ is 14 electrons.
