Maximum number of electrons in a sub-shell of an atom is determined by the following.

A

`2l + 1`

B

`4l - 2`

C

`2 n^(2)`

D

`4l + 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
No. of orbitals in a subshell `= (2l + 1)`
`:.` Maximum no. of electrons in a subshell
`= 2 (2l + 1) = 4 l + 2`
