How many electrons can be held in a sublevel l = 3?

Answer : The number of electrons held in sub-level l = 3 can be, 14 electrons

Explanation :

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It 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 : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as m_l. The value of this quantum number ranges from (-l\text{ to }+l). When l = 2, the value of m_l will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as m_s The value of this is +\frac{1}{2} for upward spin and -\frac{1}{2} for downward spin.

As we are given that,

l=3

m_l=-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

m_s=+\frac{1}{2}\text{ and }-\frac{1}{2}  (For each sub-shell)

From this we conclude that, there are 7 orbitals and each orbital contains 2 electrons. So, the number of electrons held in sub-level l = 3 are, 7\times 2=14 electrons.

Hence, the number of electrons held in sub-level l = 3 can be, 14 electrons

There can be two electrons in one orbital maximum. The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.

Hope this helped
Have a nice day :)

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
vichka [17]
Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.

A) is complete garbage.

B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).

D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.
