The correct Answer is:
To solve the comprehension question regarding the properties of the g subshell, we will analyze the statements provided and validate them step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the g subshell**: - The g subshell is the next subshell after the f subshell in the order of filling of atomic orbitals. 2. **Determining the number of orbitals in the g subshell**: - The number of orbitals in a subshell can be determined using the formula: \[ \text{Number of orbitals} = 2l + 1 \] - For the g subshell, the azimuthal quantum number \( l \) is 4 (since g corresponds to \( l = 4 \)). - Substituting \( l = 4 \) into the formula gives: \[ \text{Number of orbitals} = 2(4) + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9 \] 3. **Calculating the maximum number of electrons in the g subshell**: - Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. - Therefore, the maximum number of electrons in the g subshell is: \[ \text{Maximum electrons} = \text{Number of orbitals} \times 2 = 9 \times 2 = 18 \] 4. **Verifying the energy level of the g subshell**: - The g subshell first appears in the 5th principal energy level (n = 5). This is consistent with the filling order of orbitals. 5. **Applying Pauli's Exclusion Principle**: - According to Pauli's Exclusion Principle, no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers. This principle applies to all subshells, including the g subshell. ### Conclusion: - All statements regarding the g subshell are true: 1. The g subshell contains 18 electrons and 9 orbitals. 2. It corresponds to \( l = 4 \) and first occurs in the 5th energy level. 3. Each orbital in the g subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. 4. Therefore, the correct answer is that all the above statements are true.
