Question

2p is the correct representation for the sub-shell with n = 2 and l = 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Explanation:

Got it right on edg :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital and the energy level. It is represented by n. Where, n = 1,2,3,4....

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...

s = 1 orbital

p = 3 orbitals

d = 5 orbitals

f = 7 orbitals

For n = 4

l = 0 to (n-1) = 0 to 3 = (4s , 4p , 4d , 4f)

Number of subshells = 4

Number of orbitals =         1 + 3 + 5 + 7  = 16

The maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain:

Each orbital can holds upto two electrons, then 16 orbitals will have :

$16\times 2=32$

32 is the maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain
