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 :
32 is the maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain
Arenal Volcano: Plate Tectonic Setting. The volcanic arc of Costa Rica, where Arenal is located, is a chain of mountains resulting from the subduction of the Cocos tectonic plate under the Caribbean Plate. Costa Rica is part of the Central American isthmus, which connects the North and South American continents.
