Q. Which of the following is correct for number of electrons, number of orbitals respectively in $n$-orbit?
A) 4, 4 and 8
B) 4, 8 and 16
C) 32, 16 and 4
D) 4, 16 and 32
Explanation
(c)
For $N$-shell, $n = 4$
$l$= 0, 1, 2, 3
(subshell) $s\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ p\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ d\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f$
orbitals 1 3 5 7
Hence, total sub shells =4, orbitals =16 and number of electrons =32
