Question

How many is the maximum number of electrons for n=4

Answer 1

In Chemistry, to better determine the position of a certain electron, quantum numbers are used. The four quantum numbers are n, l, m and s. In the given above of n= 4, the principal quantum number is 4 and this represents the overall relative energy in the orbital. This means that we are to find the maximum number of electrons in fourth main energy level and the answer is 32.
