Question
The maximum number of electrons in a single subshell in terms of the azimuthal quantum number = ____
Answer
The maximum number of electrons in a single subshell in terms of the azimuthal quantum number = 4l + 2
The number of orbitals in a subshell = 2l + 1
With a maximum of 2 electrons per orbital, the maximum number of electrons per subshell = 2(2l + 1) = 4l + 2
Example: For the d subshell, we know the mathematical value for d is l = 2
4l + 2 = 4(2) + 2 = 10 electrons at maximum in the d subshell
