The maximum number of electrons in a sub-shell is given by the expression:

A

`4l-2`

B

`4l+2`

C

`2l+1`

D

`2n^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In a subsshell, the number of orbital aregiven as (2l+1) and therefore, number of electrons are `2(2l+1)`because each orbital hastwo electrons.
