What will be the maximum number of electrons having the same spin in an atom with `n +l=4` ? |
| Answer» In an atom, both 4s (n = 4, l = 0) and (n = 3, l = 1) orbitals can have n + l =4. Since four orbitals are involved, they can have maximum of eight electrons. Out of these half of the electrons (4) can have the same spin (+1/2 or -1/2). | |
