The 4f subshell of an atom contains 12 electrons. What is the maximum number of electrons having same spin in it ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the maximum number of electrons with the same spin in the 4f subshell, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Subshell**: The question specifies the 4f subshell. The f subshell can hold a maximum of 14 electrons because it has 7 orbitals (each orbital can hold 2 electrons). 2. **Determine the Number of Electrons**: We are given that the 4f subshell contains 12 electrons. ...
