Maximum number of electrons is a subshell with l = 3 and n = 4 is

A

14

B

16

C

10

D

12

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`n=4, l=3 rArr 4f` subshells
Since maximum no. of electrons in a subshell `=2(2l+1)`
So total no of electron in 4f subshell `=2(2xx3+1)=14` electrons.
