Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

To solve this question lets determine the possible quantum numbers for the principal quantum number n = 4.

For the quantum number l which describes the shape of the orbital, we have the possible values : 0 to n-1.

Thus, for n = 4 the l can assume the values 0, 1, 2, 3 ( 4 possible shapes )

For the angular quantum number, ml, which tell us the orientation in space,we have the values - l to + l.

So lets determine the number of orbials which can have the values -l for n=4

l = 0   ml = 0

l=  1    ml = -1,0,1

l= 2    ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

l= 3    ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

So we have three orbital with ml = - 1 and from Pauli´s exclusion principle we can have up two electrons in each orbital. Thus for n= 4 we can have up to 6 electrons with ml = -1
