Answer: 4
Explanation:
Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n.
Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as . The value of this quantum number ranges from
. When l = 2, the value of
will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
Given : a f subshell, thus l = 3 , Thus the subshells present would be 3, 2, 1, 0 and thus n will have a value of 4.
Also electrons give are 32.
The formula for number of electrons is .
Thus principal quantum no will be n= 4.
