Choose the best answer

The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a subshell with azimuthal quantum number ℓ is:

Verified Answer & Explanation⌄

Correct Answer: D) 2(2ℓ + 1)

Concept Explanation

Number of orbitals in a subshell = 2ℓ + 1. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons. Therefore: Maximum electrons = 2(2ℓ + 1).
