Answer: a:6 electrons, b:10electrons, c: 2electrons
Explanation:
1.Principle quantum number(n)
n is the number of shell, it is a positive integer. The maximum number of electrons in a shell is 2(n2)
2.Azimuthal quantum number(l)
l is the number of subshell in the principal shell
The name of subshell are s, p, d, f
The number of nodes in each subshell is
s is l=0, p is l=1, d is l=2, f is l=3.
Each shell can have 2 x l + 1 sublevels, and each sublevel can accommodate maximum of 2 electrons and have two electrons.
A. n=2, l=1 then 2 x 1 + 1= 3 subshell, 3*2= 6 electrons in the p subshell
b. 3d, d is l = 2 then 2 x 2 + 1 = 5 sublevels, 5*2=10 electrons in the d subshell
c. 4s, s is l=0 then 2 x 0 + 1 = 1 sublevel, 1*2=2 electrons in the s subshell.
