The maximum number of electrons can have...

The maximum number of electrons can have principal quantum number `n = 3` and spin quantum number `m_(s) = 1//2` is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
9
No. of orbitals in a shell in n = 3 will be `= n^2` i.e. `3^2 = 9`. Each orbital can have maximum of two electrons, one with `m_s = + 1/2` and the second with `m_s = -1/2`. Hence number of electrons with `m_s = + 1/2` will be 9.
