The maximum number of electron in a sub shell with l= 3 is
Correct answer: C. 14
- A. 6
- B. 10
- C. 14
- D. 18
Explanation
The maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by the formula 2(2l + 1). For l = 3 (which corresponds to the f-subshell), the maximum number of electrons is 2(2*3 + 1) = 14. Therefore, option (c) 14 is the correct answer

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
