The maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by the expression

A

4l -2

B

4l +2

C

2l +2

D

`2n^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) The number of orbitals in a subshell `=(2l+1)`
where, l = azimuthal quantum number
Since, each orbital contains maximum two electrons, the number of electrons in any subshell
`=2xx` number of orbitals `=2(2l+1)`
`=4l+2`
