Q50 / 200 · NEET 2009 (Screening) · Chemistry

Maximum number of electrons in a subshell of an atom is determined by the following

  • Correct answer
    A
    $4 l+2$
  • B
    $2 l+1$
  • C
    $4 l-2$
  • D
    $2 n^2$

Solution

Total number of subshells $=(2 l+1)$ $\therefore$ Maximum number of electrons in the subshell $=2(2 \mathrm{l}+1)=4 \mathrm{l}+2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
