Question

what is the correct representation for the subshell with n = 2 and l = 1? 2p 1p 1d 2d complete how many subshells are in the n = 4 shell? 4 complete how many orbitals does the n = 4 shell have? 16 complete what is the maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain? done

Explanation:

Step1: Recall electron - shell formula

The number of electrons in a shell with principal quantum number $n$ is given by the formula $2n^{2}$.

Step2: Substitute $n = 4$ into the formula

When $n = 4$, we calculate $2\times4^{2}=2\times16 = 32$.

Answer:

32
