The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the two statements provided and determine their truthfulness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - Statement 1 claims that the maximum number of electrons in the p subshell is 6. - The p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. This is based on the fact that there are 3 orbitals in the p subshell (each can hold 2 electrons with opposite spins). - Therefore, Statement 1 is **True**. **Step 2: Analyze Statement 2** - Statement 2 states that the maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by the formula \(4l + 2\), where \(l\) is the azimuthal quantum number. - For the p subshell, the azimuthal quantum number \(l\) is equal to 1. - Plugging \(l = 1\) into the formula: \[ 4(1) + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 \] - This confirms that the maximum number of electrons in the p subshell is indeed 6. - Therefore, Statement 2 is also **True**. **Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Statements** - Since Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1, we conclude that Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Conclusion: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct option is: - **Option 1: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.** ---
