The correct Answer is:
To determine the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the s-subshell, we can use the formula for calculating the maximum number of electrons in any subshell, which is given by: \[ \text{Maximum number of electrons} = 4L + 2 \] Where \( L \) is the azimuthal quantum number associated with the subshell. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the value of L for the s-subshell**: - The s-subshell corresponds to \( L = 0 \). 2. **Substitute the value of L into the formula**: - Using the formula \( 4L + 2 \): \[ 4(0) + 2 \] 3. **Calculate the expression**: - Simplifying the expression: \[ 0 + 2 = 2 \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the s-subshell is **2**. ### Final Answer: The s-subshell can accommodate a maximum of **2 electrons**. ---
