How many electrons will be present in the subshells having ms value of

1.	How many electrons will be present in the subshells having ms value of -for n = 4?
Answer» Number of orbitals in the nth shell = n2 Therefore, the number of orbitals for n = 4 = 42 = 16 If all the orbitals are filled then the total number of electrons = 16 x 2 = 32. Now, in an orbital two electrons have opposite spins, therefore number of electrons with ms= -1/2 = 16.

How many electrons will be present in the subshells having ms value of -for n = 4?

Answer»

Number of orbitals in the nth shell = n2

Therefore, the number of orbitals for n = 4

= 42

= 16

If all the orbitals are filled then the total number of electrons = 16 x 2 = 32.

Now, in an orbital two electrons have opposite spins, therefore number of electrons with ms= -1/2 = 16.
