Q2 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2023 (17 May Shift 1) · Chemistry

Maximum number of electrons theoretically possible for an orbit with principal quantum number $n=6$ in an atom is

A
$27$
B
$98$
Correct answer
C
$72$
D
$50$

Solution

Number of electrons $=2 n^2=2(6)^2=72$

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