1. How many sub-shells are associated with n = 4? 2. How many electrons will be present in the sub-shells having ms value of –\(\frac{1}{2}\) for n = 4? |

Answer» 1. For n = 4, l can have values 0, 1, 2, 3. Thus, there are four sub-shells in n = 4 energy level. These four sub-shells are 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f. 2. For n = 4, the number of orbitals = (4)2 = 16. Each orbital can have one electron with ms = –\(\frac{1}{2}\) . Thus, there are 16 electrons in sub-shells having n = 4 and ms = -\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
